Principal's message

Bear Families,

As we approach the start of STAAR testing next week, we want to ensure all students are prepared and set up for success. The State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR) is an important measure of student learning and is administered online for most students across Texas. 

To help your child have a smooth testing experience, please make sure they bring the following items to school each day of testing:

1) A fully charged laptop or Chromebook

2) Their charger

3) Water bottle

***Snack will be provided*** 

Additionally, please remind your child to:

1) Get a good night’s sleep

2) Arrive at school on time

3) Do their best and stay focused

We are confident in the hard work our students have put in this year and know they are ready to show what they have learned. Thank you for your support in helping them be prepared.

- Mr. Lancaster
