**STAAR Testing Site Update** Dear Parents and Guardians, Due to an unexpected internet outage, we have made adjustments to our STAAR testing locations to ensure a reliable testing environment. Students will report to school as usual for breakfast. At **8:00 AM**, the following arrangements will be in place: - **Students taking the English I and II EOC** will be transported to **North Harvest Church**. - **8th grade students** will be transported to **Booker Christian Church**. We are incredibly grateful to both churches for their generosity in opening their facilities to us. Both locations are equipped with Starlink internet, which will provide the stable connection necessary for successful testing. Thank you for your continued support and understanding.
Parents: we are once again without internet and phones. We are unsure of timeline at this moment. Sorry for the inconvenience this causes.
REMINDER: We have a 12pm late start today only for all PreK-2nd and 8th-12th grade students, due to 3rd-7th grade STAAR testing today. Buses will run for late start students. Please ensure that your student doesn't arrive until noon today if they are not testing. Thanks!
