New Jersey Student Learning Assessment (NJSLA) Information
Thank you for visiting Washington Township Public Schools' State Testing Information website. The purpose of this page is to provide all staff, students, parents, and community members with accurate information as it relates to State assessments.What's New for 2019-2020
- The Washington Township Public Schools have been selected for field testing in the English Language Arts portion of the NJSLA. One unit of the NJSLA ELA will be a field test unit, though we will not know which one.
-
- Please note: as in previous State Assessment administrations, per state and federal law, all districts are required to administer state ELA and math assessments to the designated grade levels. There is no provision for an "opt-out."
-
- Starting with the Spring 2019 statewide assessment, the item counts (i.e., test questions) were reduced, resulting in fewer units for ELA. For mathematics, the item counts are being reduced, resulting in fewer units, or testing blocks. View Spring 2019 Unit Testing Times.
- As of 3/18/19, students in grade 11 are no longer required to take the State Assessment.
