We hope to use this page to provide information to parents on a variety of topics.
Dear Parents and Guardians
Our goal this year is for all students to meet or exceed state standards. We will strive to provide engaging and challenging learning opportunities. Teachers, students, and parents will need to work together to ensure student success. Please encourage your student to read 30 minutes everyday.

A Released 4th Grade STAAR Test
This link will take you to an official released STAAR test. This will help you see the type of reading selections and the types of questions students may encounter. Some important things to note:
Currently
*Most students will have 4 hours to complete the test.
*The test this year will have questions that require students to use writing skills and reading skills. (We think this will mean short answer questions AND multiple choice.)
*The level of rigor for the questions has increased significantly from the sample test below.
