STAAR Testing

Dear Parents:

4th, 5th, 7th and 8th-grade students will be taking the State of Texas Assessment of Academic Readiness (STAAR) test in April. The testing window is between April 10th– and April 13th, 2018.

Friendly Reminders:

To avoid compromising test security, visitors, parents, and volunteers will not be allowed in the building on testing days. This also prohibits having lunch with your child/children on test days.
It is important for your child to have a full night sleep and have breakfast during this time frame so that they are physically prepared for the test.
No students will be released until testing is complete. Please
plan accordingly.
Tutorials and clubs will be in session as normal.

If you have questions or need further assistance, please email Mr. Celik at ecelik@harmonytx.org
