State Testing

Dear Tiegerman In-Person Families,

The New York State Grades 3 through 8 English Language Arts State Tests (Session 1 ONLY) will be administered on the following dates:

Please note: 

• This information may change based on State and Federal testing guidance. If we receive any updated information, we will be sure to inform you as soon as possible.
• As per NYS guidance, Session 2 of the exams has been declared as optional and will not be administered at Tiegerman Schools.

Helping your child get a good night’s sleep and eat a good breakfast is always beneficial in having a positive day, especially during testing periods. Our teachers are facilitating a positive outlook on these tests and we ask that you encourage your child to simply do his/her best.

Please note that the above dates do not apply to students participating in the New York State Alternate Assessment (NYSAA).

*The 2020-2021 NYSAA testing window is March 8, 2021 - June 11, 2021.

Please feel free to contact me at extension 157 if you have any questions or concerns regarding state testing. You can also reach me via e-mail at mcostantino@tiegerman.org.

*If your child is learning remotely at this time and you would like him/her to take the ELA state test, please contact me to make an appointment. Your child will be administered the exam in the school building during the ELA state testing window (April 19 - April 29, 2021).

*Information regarding the Math and Science state exams will be shared shortly.

Best wishes,

Michelle Costantino
