Dear Parents of Students Taking Online STAAR Tests,
The vendor for the online versions of the 4th, 7th, and English I EOC STAAR tests had technical difficulties today across the entire state. This interrupted testing for almost all of our 7th grade and English I EOC students. Our 4th grade students took the assessment on paper and were able to complete testing. We had to suspend online testing for the day at both the Junior High and High School. This is frustrating and disappointing for students and teachers who have been working hard and preparing for these exams. We hope to learn more from the Texas Education Agency later today or in the coming days on how school districts will proceed with rescheduling the tests. As soon as we know the next steps, we will communicate that to you.
Mark your calendars!
