Dear 12th Grade Parents and Guardians,
This fall, New Jersey public schools are once again required to issue several tests called the Start Strong Assessments. These tests will satisfy the federal statewide assessment requirement to administer general assessments in English Language Arts (ELA), Mathematics, and Science. They are based on a subset of prioritized prior-year academic standards. The state has recently extended the window that districts are able to administer these assessments. PRHS will be taking advantage of this extension and we have made updates to the days the Start Strong tests will be administered.
Seniors are only required to take the Start Strong Science assessment. We will be administering the test to them on Thursday, September 29th, during the school day. No special schedule is required.
Park Ridge Jr./Sr. High School will be administering the assessments in English Language Arts and in Mathematics to students in grades 7-10 only on Monday, October 3rd, and Tuesday, October 4th.
On October 3rd and 4th, students in grade 12 will follow a special delayed opening schedule. Seniors are to report to school by 9:15 am. For safety purposes, the seniors will only be able to enter through the main entrance on these days. All classes will meet on an abbreviated schedule on the testing days. The school day will finish as usual at 2:44 pm. A period-by-period schedule can be found HERE
Thank you for all you do on behalf of your children. Please be in touch with my office if there are any questions you may have.
Sincerely,
Troy Lederman
Principal, Park Ridge Jr./Sr. High School
