CHECK US OUT
Upcoming NJ Start Strong Assessments Grades 4-12
The Florence Township School District will be administering the New Jersey Start Strong Assessments at both the Florence Township Memorial High School and the Riverfront School between October 5 - 22nd. The Start Strong assessments are designed to provide data to teachers about the level and types of support that their students may need throughout the upcoming school year. The administration of the Start Strong assessments will satisfy the federal statewide assessment requirement from the 2020-2021 school year and is in place of the Spring 2021 NJSLA administration.
The Start Strong assessments are short, one unit per subject area, and each test will only take about an hour to complete. There are no open-ended responses, and they are administered online via the student’s Chromebook. It is very important that your child comes to school each day on time and with a fully charged Chromebook to help eliminate any delays in the testing.
The respective building administrator will share detailed schedules. Information regarding the testing, results, sample tests and other resources can be found on the NJ DOE website
The District’s full assessment calendar, as required per N.J.S.A. 18A:7C-6.6, can be found HERE. Please forward any questions to your child's building administrator.
