Dear Parents and Guardians,

Public school districts in New Jersey are required to provide parents/guardians information on the planned administration of state assessments and standardized commercially-developed assessments at the beginning of each school year. Attached you will find a schedule addressing the assessments that will be given throughout the 2019 - 2020 school year.

Please do not hesitate to contact me via email at cfletcher@nhanover.com with any questions.

Regards,

Christina Fletcher Director of Curriculum & Instruction
