Wrapping Up The Year
Week of May 17th
STAAR Assessments
Bring charged chromebook, snack, water, and, if desired, a sack lunch.
Free sack lunches will be provided for testers or students can bring their own lunch (no microwaves). They will be eating lunch in the classroom during a break in testing.
Remote learners can check in the front office at 8:40 am for their respective STAAR exams, and they will wait in the library until released to their assigned testing rooms. They will be testing in the classroom with in-person learners, with all NISD Health and Safety Procedures being followed, including masks. They will be released after testing to the front office at 2 pm. This is later than the past due to the embedded lunch during the testing period.
Testers will remain in their testing room until all exams are complete, and if testing is completed earlier, remote learners who are car riders will wait in the library until a parent arrives for pick up.
Make up exams will be Friday, May 21.
