  5. What to Expect Daily? Class begins at 7:45 We pick up from the cafeteria & begin Target Reading. This will help prepare your child for the STAAR test in the spring. We work hard and fast Until 3:00 If you have to schedule an appointment during the school day, please try to make it at the end of the day.
