NYS ELA ASSESSMENT – WEDS 3/30 & THURS 3/31
The NYS ELA Assessment is scheduled for AMS students on Wednesday, March 30th and Thursday, March 31st. This assessment measures the success of the instructional program the school provides, and as a result, is an important indicator of the success of our school. The NYS Assessment Program has been revised over the years to limit the number of days and the number of questions students need to complete. Additionally, the assessments are no-longer timed tests, meaning so long as students work productively on the assessment they can take as much time as needed.
On testing days, students are encouraged to:
– Eat a healthy breakfast on assessment days
– Bring sharpened #2 pencils
– Use a highlighter and notate the test books
– Bring a silent reading book for after completing the assessment
Thank you for your continued support.
