Changes regarding State tests for middle school students

We have just learned that the DOE has changed their position regarding the State tests for grades 3-8, for this year. 

Students are not required to take the State tests and they will not be penalized if they do not take the tests. Rather than opting out, as in previous years, students must now opt-in if they intend to take the tests

For planning purposes, please fill out this survey only IF you would like your child to take the State tests. 

Only students who want to take the tests need to fill out this form. 

Students who are remote will have to come into school if they want to take the tests.

Dates:

  • ELA: Wednesday April 21

  • Math: Wednesday May 5
