Dear Davis Families,
Happy New Year! I hope you had a great winter break and enjoyed some quality time with family. Davis staff were hard at work today preparing to welcome back students tomorrow. As we kick off the spring semester, we're excited about all the opportunities for growth and learning ahead, and we can’t wait to have a fantastic start to the year together!

The STAAR test is the Texas state assessment that all students in 3rd-5th grade take each year in the spring. In this session, I will share information about the STAAR testing schedule, along with the format of the STAAR assessments, including question types and sample questions for STAAR Reading Language Arts, Math, and Science.
