Bear Creek Families,
Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 28th, our 3rd-5th-grade students will take their final STAAR test for this school year, the STAAR Math test. This is a wonderful opportunity for our Bears to show off their growth and all the hard work they have put in this year. To ensure a smooth and successful testing day for everyone. Please keep the following reminders in mind:
Closed Campus: We will be a closed campus tomorrow to maintain a secure and quiet testing environment. Unfortunately, this means we cannot accommodate any visitors.
Arrival Time: Please ensure your student is at school and in their classroom by 7:35. Students will go straight to their classrooms when the doors open at 7:20.
Technology: Students must bring their Chromebooks fully charged, along with their chargers.
Preparation: A good night's rest and a healthy breakfast make a big difference! Please ensure your student goes to bed on time tonight.
Thank you for your continued support in helping our students feel confident and prepared. We are excited for our Bears to show off all that they have learned this year.
