2025-2026 Fair Haven Public Schools Assessment Calendar New Jersey school districts, charter schools, and renaissance school projects are required by statute (N.J.S.A. 18A: 7C-6 .6) to annually notify parents or guardians by October 1 of any statewide student assessment or commercially-developed standardized assessment that will be administered over the course of the school year. Key: ● Information about Available Accommodations and Accessibility Features refers to the manual that outlines the accommodations and accessibility options available for the test. ● Required by State, Federal or Local whether the assessment is required or mandated by state, federal or local district. ● Sample Questions provides a link to sample items/questions for students to practice. ● Testing Time Allotted per Student is the maximum amount of time allotted to students to complete the assessment. Most students finish well in advance of the allotted time. ● Testing Window is the period of time in which districts administer the assessment.
