Dear Parent or Guardian,
In the coming months, students across Texas will take various assessments
within the State of Texas Assessments of Academic Readiness (STAAR)
program. Current ninth, tenth, and eleventh graders will take End-of-Course
(EOC) assessments in various courses. Testing season is in full swing here at
Clements High School and we have a lot going on this Spring! The
information below outlines all of the upcoming testing dates, how it impacts
your student, and other essential information to consider on these testing
days. It is imperative that your student be at school on the day these exams
are given. Remember, ALL EOC scores count towards your students
graduation requirements and students must make up any missed exams.
Please join us in working toward your childs success by making sure that
he /she is in school for each of these testing days. Additionally, it is required
that your child passes and attends these tests in order to be eligible for
exemptions. You may find the exemption policy on Ranger Wire at:
