Dear Parents,
On Tuesday, December 12th, we will be having the Biology STAAR EOC assessment. Note that STAAR EOC exams are still a graduation requirement and failure to appear will result in a lost testing opportunity for the student.
Students must report to campus by 8 AM. Please ensure your son/daughter is ready for Tuesday's STAAR administration!
Respectfully,
CHS Administration
