6th Graders,

As you probably already know, Monday is the start of 2 days of STAR State Testing for you.  Your Monday and Tuesday schedules are going to be quite unusual.  Your 1st Period teacher will go over the entire schedule with you. I have the schedule in the Blog as well below.   Make sure that you get good rest and eat very well today, tonight and tomorrow.  It is important to feel totally alert and focused when taking these state tests.  Be patient, read all questions slowly and carefully and you will do fantastic.  

STAR SCHEDULE SUMMARY

On Monday you have 1st, 2nd, 4th and 6th periods.  On Tuesday, you have 1st, 3rd, 5th and 7th periods.  The detailed schedules will be given to you by your 1st period teacher.
