Due to technical difficulties with the STAAR online platform, LDZ will readminister the STAAR Writing test this week. These difficulties were due to vendor issues and not local technology issues. Tomorrow, Tuesday, April 13th, all fourth grade on-campus students, students testing in small-groups, and any students who were not able to access the STAAR online platform next week will test tomorrow. (Your child will receive an email if he/she must report to campus tomorrow or Wednesday). We will also send you a school messenger, and parents will be contacted by the teacher. All other virtual students who were able to access the platform, but were not able to complete the exam will test on Wednesday. TEA has assured districts that any answers entered last week will be saved in the students' testing profile. Last week, many districts retested and were able to access the platform without complications. We are confident that LDZ students will not encounter more difficulties this week. We thank you for your patience and your continued support of the child's academics.
