Gentle reminder that we will complete STAAR Simulation testing Tuesday-Thursday of this week. Students do not need to bring backpacks. Lunch boxes are still welcome! This will help us cut down on morning arrival entry procedures and allow for more time directing students to testing rooms. Your students testing room can be found by using this website: JL Long Testing Lookup.

Thank you for the support!

 

All grade level doors open at 8:10 AM to begin our morning arrival security process.

From 8:10 AM-8:25 AM, students are able to access all three arrival spaces. 

At 8:25 and once students are processed through that door, the entrance is closed off, and all students are routed toward the 7th grade door. All staff outside ensure this communication.

It is the expectation that at 8:35 AM, students are in their seats and ready for instruction.

Thank you!

Best,

Principal Cronin
