STAAR UNDER THE STARS
Text Block Title

If you are a parent of a Virtual Student who is uncomfortable having a student attend STAAR Testing on campus during regular school hours, J.L. Long will be offering the STAAR Under the Stars.  On select days during May (see our PTA Calendar), students will have the option to attend STAAR testing from 4:00 pm - 8:00 pm.  


The school will be hosting a Parent Information Session via Zoom on Thursday, April 29th at 6:00 pm to discuss details regarding STAAR Under the Stars and will answer any additional questions parents may have about STAAR testing at our campus.
