We’ve had a big week on campus as our students began their STAAR testing with the RLA assessment! We are so proud of the focus, effort, and determination they’ve shown.

Meanwhile, our math and science classrooms are making the most of these final days before their tests—filled with engaging review activities and a little fun along the way to keep learning exciting and meaningful. Our students and teachers are working incredibly hard, and we know all that effort is going to pay off!

As we prepare for STAAR testing, your support at home makes a big difference! Here are a few simple ways to help your child feel confident and ready:

Make sure your child gets plenty of rest the night before testing. A well-rested brain helps with focus and problem-solving!

Start the day with a balanced meal (protein + whole grains) to fuel your child’s brain and keep energy levels steady.

Being at school on time helps your child start the day calm and ready—no rushing, no stress!

Please avoid scheduling appointments on STAAR testing days. It’s important for students to be present for the entire testing session.

We strongly discourage early release during testing. If a student leaves before finishing, they will not be able to return and complete the test on another day.

Remind your child to do their best—you can say things like:

Encourage your child to:

Avoid extra pressure—confidence and a calm mindset go a long way!

By working together, we can help our students build strong habits of reflection, responsibility, and continuous growth!
