New York State Testing (May 2 and May 3)

 

Mathematics New York State Testing will begin for students in Grades 4, 6, and 7 next week. The exam has changed from two days to three days. Our students and their teachers have been hard at work preparing for these exams. We wish them the best of luck as they take their exams. In order for students to truly do their best, they need to come to school on time, have a good night’s sleep, and eat a healthy breakfast. Best of luck to all our students as they apply their math skills to these exams!
