JLA Parents and Students,
Please save the dates for the upcoming December STAAR EOCs being administered after the Thanksgiving break. It is important that we have STAAR testers present on their testing day with their charged Chromebook and charger on the day of their tests. We ask that STAAR testers be on campus from 7:45-3:30. We offer breakfast and lunch. Non-test students will follow their regular schedule.
Thank you,
Dr. de la Pena
