New Jersey school districts, charter schools, and renaissance school projects are required by statute (N.J.S.A. 18A: 7C-6.6) to annually notify parents or guardians by October 1 of any statewide student assessment or commercially-developed standardized assessment that will be administered over the course of the school year. If after October 1, it is decided that an additional commercially-developed standardized assessment will be administered, then the information shall be shared with parents as soon as possible (within 30 days of receipt of final reports for statewide assessments).

The Assessment Calendar for 2024-2025 can be found following this link:

Please note that the Dynamic Learning Map Assessment only impacts a small percentage of students with individual education plans and that although we have been notified that Sayreville may be selected for NAEP testing, we are waiting final notification. 

Student Participation in Annual Statewide Assessments

In accordance with NJ Administrative Code 6A:8-4.1, Sayreville administers the NJSLA, NJGPA and WIDA Access to all required students as a means of measuring student progress in meeting state standards in English Language Arts, mathematics and science. Both the state of New Jersey and the Sayreville Public Schools expect all students to participate in these high stakes assessments that are used to monitor academic progress of our students, however, we recognize that there may be special cases where parents would request student exclusion from assessments. Please download the form below to request that your student not be assessed and email it to your child's principal.
