All students need to have a personal set of headphones or ear buds. They are used in class daily, and will be needed for each student for the Math STAAR test next on April 29th. The Math Test can be read to all 3rd grade students, if they have head phones.

Please check to make sure your child has a working pair, as a lot have broken or gotten lost. 

One snack will be provided by the school during STAAR Testing, but most kids could use an extra snack (that is not messy) and a water bottle sent from home to help sustain focus throughout the testing.
