Dear 11th 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 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 updated the days the Start Strong tests will be administered. We will now be giving the tests to grades 7-11 on Monday, October 3rd, and Tuesday, October 4th.
The only test required for Juniors is for those students enrolled in Algebra II. Students taking Algebra II this school year will need to report to school by 7:45 am on Tuesday, October 4th to complete the assessment.
All other Juniors will follow a special delayed opening schedule on October 3rd and 4th . They are to report to school by 9:15 am. For safety purposes, they will only be able to enter through the main entrance on these days. 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
