STAAR testing -- April 22-- grades 3-4 & grades 6-7 Math; grade 8 Social Studies April 23-- grades 3-4 & grades 6-7 Reading; grades 5 and 8 Science Tips for a successful STAAR day: Make sure they get a good night’s sleep so they are well rested, alert and attentive (at least 8 hours). Provide them with a nutritious breakfast - Research shows that “brain foods” include whole grains, berries, eggs, yogurt, cantaloupe, and peanut butter. BCISD offers FREE BREAKFAST to all students at all campuses. Guide them to select school-appropriate clothing that will be comfortable during the day. If they wear an assistive device, such as a hearing aide and/or glasses, be sure they bring and wear them. Make sure they arrive on time, even early! Encourage them to do their best without creating anxiety. Tell them you think the test is important and you expect them to do their best; if they know it is important to you, it will become more important them. Please, no doctor or other appointments on STAAR testing days. And no parent visits to campuses. Wish them good luck before leaving for school. Ask about their day when they come home.
