TrailBlazer Bulletin April 15-19

We hope everyone is having a wonderful week.

Lebanon Trail High School will administer the Spring STAAR EOC exams in April. A passing score on all 5 STAAR EOC tests is a graduation requirement in the state of Texas.

The test dates are as follows:

• Tuesday, April 9th (A day) - English 1 and English 2 *
• Tuesday, April 23rd (B day) - Algebra 1
• Wednesday, April 24th (B day) - Biology and US History *

Please do not schedule any appointments on these days so that students are present to test, as needed.

Students will need to bring their fully charged, district-issued Chromebook on test day.

Students will have until 4:25 pm to test, if needed, and will be released at the completion of their exam to follow their class schedule for the day. (Students with CTE classes who have missed the bus by the time they complete the test, will remain in the testing room until their next class unless they have their own transportation.)

2nd period attendance will be taken at 1:16, and 3rd and 4th period will follow.

Lunch will be at 1:20 for those students still testing.
