WHAT TO BRING:

Bailey has a limited number of loaner Chromebooks to make available to students who do not have an AISD-issued Chromebook or are experiencing technical problems. Students who need to use a loaner Chromebook should inform the teacher when they arrive at the test site.

LUNCH - Lunches will occur as normal, no alteration will be made to the lunch schedule.

BOOK - Students should bring a book to read after the exam. Note that per testing security protocols, students cannot work on homework or access any digital devices, including e-readers, while other students are still testing.

MISCELLANEOUS - Students are also encouraged to bring a bottle of water and dress in comfortable layers.

Students may not have any electronic devices in their testing classes with the exception of their aisd issued chromebooks.

Please make sure student get a good nights rest, breakfast the morning of testing and that they arrive at school on time.

ACCOMMODATIONS: Students receiving special education or 504 services, or who are identified as having limited English proficiency, will be provided the STAAR testing accommodations indicated in their personalized plan. These accommodations have been recently double-checked for accuracy by staff. A student with "extra time" as a testing accommodation will have until 3:50 PM to complete the assessment.

RESULTS: STAAR scores will be available to all parents via Parent-Self Serve in the AISD Portal by June 21, 2022.
