STAAR Testing * Message from the Principal
Good Evening Colt Parents,
We finally made it to this point! This week Thursday we begin STAAR testing at Covington Middle School. To ensure you have all the information possible and that your child can perform their best, we wanted to provide you with important information. Within the STAAR test newsletter and on the website is all the information pertaining to the assessment and tips to ensure your child can perform their best. We are excited to see the gains your child has made over the year. Please review this information and if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Proud Principal,
Mr. Maddox
