Spring 2017 NBTSchools PARCC Testing
Once again, there will be one testing window for the Partnership for Assessment of Readiness for College and Careers (PARCC) for the 2016-17 school year. Please note that these assessments are required by the Federal and State Departments of Education.
The NJDOE has set up the testing window for grades 3-High School to be held from March 27, 2017 - May 19, 2017 with schools having to select 30 consecutive days during which their testing will take place. Please be aware that the NJDOE permits students to complete testing units any time during the designated window. Building schedules have been designed to best meet the needs of the students, the master schedule, and the unit testing time as designated by Pearson. Additionally, the NJDOE has designated that all grades 3-11 students in our district will participate in a Field Test of Unit 4 ELA; school districts are selected at random and must set up a date/time to schedule the session within their testing window.
The content testing sessions that have been set by Pearson appear on the following page.
