Important STAAR testing day reminders:
Please remind your student to bring the following to school on all applicable testing days.:
Water bottle
Snack (less messy is better)
Book(s) to read after testing
mLISD Lenovo and charger (*see section below)
Please instruct students to charge and restart their Lenovo laptops the night before each test.
to encure the testing application runs smoothly.
- Please do not send your child to school with blankets, pillows, stuffed animals, etc.
*If your student does NOT have a district-provided Lenovo laptop,
one will be provided for them for STAAR testing at no cost.
Student expectations for testing days:
- During testing, students must be quiet and respect others who are testing. We want to ensure students are comfortable using the entire testing window if needed.
When students are done testing, they may read or sit silently until the testing session is completed for the day and students are dismissed to their classes.
- Cell phones, smartwatches, and all other communication devices must be turned of and collected prior to testing. Students are welcome to leave these devices (phones/smartwathces/tablets etc.) at home on testing days if preferred.
LISD families, you can now secure their students’ district-provided laptops for the 2025-2026 school year. While participation in the mLISD program remains optional, we want to ensure you are well-informed about this transition to facilitate a smooth start to the new school year.
If students pay before the Campus cutoff date in May, they can keep their devices throughout the summer and the next school year.
ALL laptops from 6-8th grade WMS students will be collected:
- May 12: 7th & 8th grade
- May 14: 6th grade
This will be done through Social Studies classes. Unless those students have made their laptop payment form the 25-26 school year.
Leander ISD Transportation Registration is open now. Every year, all eligible riders (general and special education) who will use transportation are required to register to ride.
Please make your community aware of the following deadlines:
Registrations received by May 31, 2025, guarantee transportation on the first day of school
