NYS ELA testing update grades 3-5:
Dear Parents and Caregivers,
I wanted to inform you that the Nextera Questar computer system used for state testing was unfortunately down today, and we were unable to complete Day 2 of the ELA state testing as planned. This issue was related to the testing platform and was beyond our control.
We plan to administer Day 2 of the ELA testing tomorrow (4/30) instead. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility.
Join us for some fun this Friday April 24th at Cohen Elementary School for favorite baseball or softball team day!
As a result of the relatively mild winter we will be updating our school calendar for the balance of the school year. Provided we do not need to use Emergency Days for the rest of the school year we will make the following adaptations to the school calendar.
Please see attached image for specific details.
