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 or within
30 days of any statewide student assessment or commercially developed
standardized assessment that will be administered over the course of the school
year.
Key:
●
Number of Testing Administrations in Districts refers to the number of times a particular assessment will
be offered during the school year.
●
Testing Mode refers to
how the student will be administered the assessment. The two modes are
computer-based, and paper-and-pencil. Some computer-based assessments allow
students to take the assessment using paper and pencil. Be sure to inquire
about the options if your child has a medical issue that would not allow them
to take the assessment on the computer.
●
Testing Time 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 in which districts administer the statewide student assessment. It is
not the actual number of days it takes a student to complete the assessment.
School districts can choose the specific days within the window to administer
the test. Please inquire with your district about the exact testing dates of
the assessment.
●
Results Available
refers to date districts receive individualized student results from the
assessment vendor. These results should be distributed to students, educators
and families as soon as possible.
