Happy 100th Day of School!!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Our campus will participate in the TEA-required STAAR® Stand-Alone Field Test on February 5, 2026. This online-only assessment helps the state develop future STAAR test questions and is separate from the spring STAAR exams.
Eligible students in 6thgrade, 8th grade, and English I will participate. Testing occurs during the regular school day. Results do not affect grades, promotion, or graduation, and individual scores are not reported.
Most standard online accommodations will be available. Schools will not receive individual student results or scores from this field test.
TEA requires participation in this assessment for selected campuses, as the data collected are critical for developing high-quality state assessments. We appreciate your support and cooperation as we fulfill this state requirement.
