Hazel Owens Elementary

We wanted to remind you that the STAAR test is coming up next Tuesday--our students are totally prepared and should feel super confident in their abilities!

To help your child perform their best, please make sure they get a good night's sleep and enjoy a delicious and nutritious breakfast on the morning of the test. These small steps can make a big difference in their performance.

We also want to let you know that on the day of the test, we won't be allowing any visitors on campus. We want to create a calm and focused environment for our students without any added distractions. That said, If you would like an opportunity to support our students on test day we'd love to have you form reception lines at our two front entrances between 7:30-8:00 AM to hold up encouraging signs and cheer on our students as they enter the school.

As a little tip, we recommend avoiding discussing the exam the night before to reduce any test-related anxieties for our kiddos. Let's keep things relaxed and positive!

We appreciate your support in our students' success. Together, we've got this!

The Learner Profile is an opportunity for families to give input on your child's teacher for the upcoming school year. Depending on the grade level your child is entering in the upcoming school year you will be prompted to answer 8-10 questions about your child's temperament, abilities, and the type and style of teacher you believe your child would learn from best.
