  • Tuesday April 21, 2008 is the beginning of STAR testing through May 2, 2008.  It is very important to be PRESENT, RESTED, AND ON TIME for testing.  All students should be ready and in class by 7:37 a.m.   All doctor or dental appointments should be scheduled after STAR testing.  Keep in mind that during STAR testing there are No Interruptions, No Exceptions!  The office staff will not call (page) anyone and no one will be allowed to go into the classroom to retrieve a student.
