Grade 5 Computer Based Testing
Dear 5th Grade Families,
Each spring, students take the English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics tests in grades 3-8 and the Science tests in grade 5 and 8. These tests are used to measure how well students perform on New York’s Next Generation Learning Standards.
This year our school's Grade 5 students will take the New York State ELA, Math and Science tests on a computer. Over the past few years, schools across New York have begun to give these state tests on a computer, and we are excited for our students to have that opportunity this year.
Please note the following:
- Practice: Before the test is given, your child will have a chance to practice taking the test on a computer while in school. This will help your child become familiar with the online testing format. Students, educators, and parents can review and practice using the online here: Question Sampler (https://ny.nextera.questarai.com/tds/#practice)
- Testing schedule:
|
ELA: 5th Grade: April 15-16 Computer Based Test (CBT) |
Make-Up ELA: 5th Grade: until April 19 |
|
Math: 5th Grade: May 9-10 (CBT) |
Make-up Math: 5th Grade: until May 17 |
|
Science: 5th Grade: May 15 (CBT) |
Make-up Science: May 16-17 |
- Accommodations: All students who receive testing accommodations for New York State tests will receive accommodations for all their tests consistent with their 504 plan or Individualized Education Program (IEP).
If you would like to learn more about the New York State 3-8 tests and the move to computer-based testing, see this New York State Education Department web site (https://www.nysed.gov/state-assessment/parent-resources). If you have questions on the computer-based test, or about your child’s participation, please contact Stephen DiPaola our Assistant Principal at 718-584-3035.
Respectfully,
Claudia Tahiraj-Sadrija
Principal
