These state-required tests provide one important way to understand how well students are learning grade‑level skills in English, Math, and Science.  \nDepending on their grade level, your child may participate in one or more of the following tests:  \n● New Jersey Student Learning Assessments –Adaptive (NJSLA‑A) for ELA and Mathematics  \n● New Jersey Student Learning Assessments – Science (NJSLA‑S)  \nAll of New Jersey’s statewide assessments are based on the New Jersey Student Learning Standards (NJSLS), which describe what students should know and be able to do at each grade level. While the state test may look a little different this year, it still measures whether students are learning skills and knowledge expected for their grade.  \nTesting Schedule  \nThe district has set the following testing schedule for the 2025-2026 school year.  \n\n| Grades 3 & 4: ELA and Math |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Monday 5/4 | Tuesday 5/5 | Wednesday 5/6 | Thursday 5/7 | Friday 5/8 |\n| Reading\u003Cbr>75 min | Reading\u003Cbr>75 min | Writing\u003Cbr>90 min | Math\u003Cbr>75 min | Math\u003Cbr>75 min |\n\n\n| Grade 5: ELA and Math |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Monday 5/4 | Tuesday 5/5 | Wednesday 5/6 | Thursday 5/7 | Friday 5/8 |\n| Reading\u003Cbr>75 min | Reading\u003Cbr>75 min | Writing\u003Cbr>90 min | Math\u003Cbr>75 min | Math\u003Cbr>75 min |\n\n\n| Grade 5: Science |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Monday 5/18 | Tuesday 5/19 | Wednesday 5/20 | Thursday 5/21 |\n| Science\u003Cbr>Unit 1\u003Cbr>45 min | Science\u003Cbr>Unit 2\u003Cbr>45 min | Science\u003Cbr>Unit 3\u003Cbr>45 min | Science\u003Cbr>Unit 4\u003Cbr>45 min |\n\n\n| Grades 6-8: ELA and Math |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Friday 5/8 | Monday 5/11 | Tuesday 5/12 | Monday 5/18 | Tuesday 5/19 |\n| Writing\u003Cbr>90 min | Reading\u003Cbr>75 min | Reading\u003Cbr>75 min | Math\u003Cbr>75 min | Math\u003Cbr>75 min |\n\n\n| Grade 8: Science |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Tuesday 4/28 | Thursday 4/30 | Friday 5/1 | Monday 5/4 |\n| Science\u003Cbr>Unit 1\u003Cbr>45 min | Science\u003Cbr>Unit 2\u003Cbr>45 min | Science\u003Cbr>Unit 3\u003Cbr>45 min | Science\u003Cbr>Unit 4\u003Cbr>45 min |\n\n\n| High School\u003Cbr>Grades & classes are indicated in the table |  |  |  |  |\n| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |\n| Monday 5/18 | Tuesday 5/19 | Wednesday 5/20 | Thursday 5/21 | Friday 5/22 |\n| Writing-Grade 9 Science-Grade 11 | Reading-Grade 9 Science-Grade 11 | Reading-Grade 9 Science-Grade 11 | Math-Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 Science-Grade 11 | Math-Algebra 1, Geometry, Algebra 2 |\n| Students who are doubling up in Geometry and Algebra 2 will take the Algebra 2 NJSLA-A. |  |  |  |  |\n\nPurpose of Statewide Assessments  \nStudents take different kinds of tests during the school year, and each type of test serves a different purpose. New Jersey’s statewide assessments are one important way to show families and communities how well students, schools, and districts are meeting the New Jersey Student Learning Standards, which describe what students should know and be able todo at each grade level.  \nThese results provide schools with valuable insight into students’ progress and help educators refine instruction when needed to strengthen learning. They allow teachers and school leaders to see how students grow from year to year, and to ensure all students have access to strong, grade‑level instruction. This information also helps districts confirm their curriculum matches the state standards. Overall, statewide tests give families and schools an understanding of how students are growing and where support maybe needed so every child can succeed.  \nAbout the ELA and Math Tests  \nThis spring, for the first time, statewide tests in English and Math will be computer‑adaptive. As your child answers questions, the test adjusts in real time. If a question is answered correctly, the next one may be slightly more challenging.
