We are pleased to provide you with the testing descriptions and timelines of the standardized tests that will be administered in the Burlington Township School District this year. Please note that the testing window does not mean students will be testing during that entire period of time.  This is the time frame in which the testing must be completed.  The buildings will be releasing specific testing dates at a later time. 

Pursuant to N.J.S.A. 18A:7C-6.6, beginning in the Fall of 2016, school districts and charter schools must, by October 1 of each year, provide parents and guardians certain information on any State assessment or commercially-developed standardized assessment that will be administered in that school year.

This special PARCC newsletter will provide you with very important information on all standardized tests and provide links to practice exams, accommodations, and schedules.  The following information is included in this newsletter:
  • The subject area of the assessment and grade levels covered by the assessment
  • The date or range of potential dates for the administration of the assessment
  • The time allotted for the student to take and complete the assessment
  • Any accommodations or accessibility options available to students
  • Information on how and when the student and his/her parent or guardian can access both sample questions and answers to the assessment and the student's results 
  • Whether the assessment is required by the State or federal government, or both.
It is very important that parents understand the requirements and details of all standardized testing and what it means to their student(s).

* If a student is permitted extra time or any other accommodations by their IEP, parent/guardians should contact their guidance office for additional details on accommodations and accessibility options.

If you have any questions about the information in this newsletter, please contact your building principal.
