Williamstown JR/SR High students (except seniors) will be STAR testing August 26-27.
STAR is given three times a year in reading and math to track growth, spot learning gaps early and adjust instruction in real time. This allows our teachers to make sure every student gets the necessary support to finish the year stronger and more confident than they started.
Please encourage your child to get plenty of rest the night before and eat breakfast in the morning before testing.
