Plastic Bag Challenge

STAAR Information
Dear Brock Parents:
Your student will be participating in the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR). STAAR is an achievement test that allows BISD to measure how well students are mastering essential skills for their grade level. The STAAR is a rigorous test. Please be sure your child understands the importance of doing their best work and giving their best effort. The majority of the STAAR assessments will test material students studied this year. Students will have the school day to complete the assessment.
The test will be given on the following dates:
Tuesday, April 8th- 3rd,4th and 5th STAAR Reading
Tuesday, April 15th- 5th STAAR Science
Wednesday, April 23rd- 3rd, 4th, and 5th STAAR Math
You can help by ensuring your child is rested, has a good breakfast, and optimistic outlook. Breakfast is served from 7:15-7:35 in the Brock Cafeteria.
Please plan for your student to arrive at school on time and do not schedule any appointments that would require his/her leaving early or arriving late. We would like to address a policy that the State of Texas requires for all school districts. State testing requirements specifically state that cell phones are not permitted in classrooms where the testing is taking place. The teachers will pick up any cell phones that are brought to school at the beginning of the day, and the cell phones will be returned to the students at the end of the day without penalty. These procedures will help ensure a successful STAAR experience.
Brock students and teachers have been working hard to prepare for the STAAR. I know many parents are working with their children in conjunction with the classroom teacher. Your contributions of time and patience are appreciated. A good home/school partnership helps students be successful. Thank you again for your help in making the STAAR a positive and successful experience for your child.
The students will need to bring a sack lunch on their test date. The cafeteria will provide a lunch for students if needed. The regular lunch fee will apply. Visitors will not be allowed to eat lunch on campus the day of state testing. Because schedules are different on STAAR days, the campus is closed to visitors.
