New York State Testing

New York State Testing is approaching quickly. All students in third and fourth grade are tested in the area of English Language Arts and math. These tests are standardized. Fourth graders are also tested in science. English Language Arts is broken up into two days (4/25 & 4/26). The test is not timed and the students actually have more ELA instruction each day that lasts longer than the test. The math test is in April (4/21 & 4/22). This is also a two day test that is not timed. The test is an assessment of everything learned from kindergarten on. Our final test is science. This test is two parts. There is a performance portion and a written portion. If you have further questions regarding New York State Testing, please do not hesitate to contact Mrs. Devitt directly.
