Round Rock ISD students will join other public school students in the state in taking the Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills (TAKS) test April 6-8 and April 26-30. 7th Graders will take Math Tuesday 27th and Reading Wednesday the 28th.
The district asks parents to make sure their child is in school on time and present during the testing periods. Please refrain from making doctor appointments during this time as all students are expected to be a part of this process.
Parents are asked to emphasize to their children to:
Get a good night's rest the night before.
Eat a healthy breakfast prior to arriving at school.
Take their time on the test; read entire questions; and look for key words.
Arrive for the test with plenty of time to mentally prepare and not be rushed to begin.
Go to the restroom before entering the testing environment.
Do their very best on these tests!
State law requires all students in eleventh grade to pass all TAKS in order to graduate. Students in the fifth and eighth grade must pass the reading and math portions of the test to be promoted.
Thanks to Mr. Warren for these!
