Dear Williams Ledger Families,
As we approach the end of the semester, our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students will be taking released STAAR tests on the following dates:
Tuesday, December 3rd 3rd, 4th, and 5th Released STAAR Reading Test
Tuesday, December 10th 3rd, 4th, and 5th Released STAAR Math Test
Thursday, December 12th 5th Grade Released STAAR Science Test
These testing days give our students the opportunity to “show what they know” and guide our instruction moving toward the official testing dates. Students will have all day to complete the assessment. Please help prepare your child by encouraging him/her to:
• Get plenty of rest before the tests.
• Eat a good breakfast.
• Arrive on time.
• Dress in layers to be comfortable during testing.
• Do their absolute best!
• Bring a healthy snack (we will provide a snack on official testing days)
In order to maintain a secure and quiet testing environment, we will be closing campus during lunch for all grade levels on the above dates. All noise and traffic in the campus hallways and common areas will be kept to a minimum. Please reach out to your child’s teacher with any questions you may have. Thank you for your support this year. We look forward to celebrating our students’ success together!
Jenny Cresswell
Principal
