Campuses Across PISD Gear Up for TAKS
Schools across the state are preparing for April 26 - April 30, when many students will participate in TAKS testing.
Parents, help your student get off on the right foot on test days by ensuring they get a good night's rest and eat a nutritious breakfast the morning of testing.
Please be aware cell phones are not allowed to be on or visible while students are testing. This is a state requirement, and non-compliance can lead to an investigation by the Texas Education Agency (TEA) and a failing score on the exam. The device will be confiscated and will not be returned until cleared by TEA.
Students will be told before the test begins that cell phones are not allowed during testing, and to turn off cell phones and put them out of sight. Some campuses may require the test administrator to take up all cell phones prior to testing and maintain possession of phones until all testing is complete. Cell phones will be returned to students after testing is completed at the end of the day.
Your campus may have specific requests such as asking parents to remain outside the building on test days, or requesting that parents do not plan on having lunch with their children during TAKS week. Please contact your campus if you have questions about any special requirements that may be in place at your school.
