The Elementary, Junior High and High School campuses are preparing our students for the upcoming STAAR test. The tests are scheduled for April and May and our teachers and administrators have been working diligently to have every student ready to go. The STAAR test will be online this year meaning all of our students will be taking their test on a computer. Each campus has been preparing our students for this type of test and I am looking forward to seeing our results. Thank you TEACHERS AND ADMINISTRATORS!
