As we head toward spring, we wanted to provide you with information regarding the upcoming New York State exams for students in grades 3-8.
Exams and the dates they'll be offered are organized below in alphabetical order by school, date and exam subject. All exams will be computer-based, and schools will offer makeups through the end of the testing period, which is May 16.
All K-12 students in our English as a New Language (ENL) programs will take the speaking and listening, reading and writing portions of the New York State English as a Second Language Achievement Test (NYSESLAT) during testing windows in April and May. Principals will provide specific NYSESLAT dates for their schools.
If you have questions, please talk to the principal of your child's school.

Before the tests
Please make sure your student gets plenty of rest in the days leading up to the tests, and that they have a good breakfast so they are ready to do their best.
Students who choose not to take the tests
We strongly encourage all students to participate in the state 3-8 exams and will provide whatever support is needed to ensure their success. The data from these exams is one metric we use to help strengthen our instructional program.
While there are no consequences for a child who does not participate in a state assessment, school or district accountability status may be impacted by the lack of participation. However, if parents or guardians choose not to allow their child to take a state exam, they must provide a written request to their principal indicating their decision not to have their child take the exam.
Parents or guardians wishing to submit such a letter should provide that to their principal by Friday, April 4.
The letter should indicate which test or tests their student will not be taking, along with a phone number where the parent or guardian can be reached. This notification will allow schools to be prepared with appropriate accommodations for students who will not be taking a state exam.
At the elementary level, our buildings will identify a room or rooms where these students can quietly read while testing students remain in their classrooms. Students who are not testing will return to their classrooms when the test session is done and resume normal instruction.
At the middle level, students not taking a state exam will remain in the testing room with their peers and may bring a book to read.
