Practice STAAR

This upcoming week, Tuesday (1/9) and Wednesday (1/10), third grade will take the practice STAAR test. With that being said, we want to reiterate that we are not testing for accuracy. The purpose of the practice STAAR is not to assess what our learners know, but to practice and prepare for what the test will look like. We want the practice test to be a low stress experience for our learners!
