1. This week on Tuesday your scholar will take the STAAR Reading Practice Test. This is a benchmark practice test so that teachers can see where grade level skill levels are. Your scholar does not need to do anything extra to prepare for the test.
2. Faculty, staff, and students are invited to honor their family members who have served in the military by filling out a short info form and attaching a photo to be displayed in the library on November 11.
