PT 9th Grade Teachers - Have you received the Start Strong Practice Test tickets?
As per Mr. Singh's email sent Monday 9/12/22 to the 9th grade PT teachers -
As you know, we will be administering the Start Strong Assessment next week. In preparation for a smooth administration, we would like to minimize any technical issues by demonstrating to students how to access TestNav and the assessment.
We're asking that all 9th graders use the practice ticket to at least log in and be familiar with the process anytime this week.
Please visit Mr Rodriguez in room 334 to get your class tickets (you'll have to sort them using your roster).
The spreadsheet with the NJSLA scores have been placed in the Google data folders for each building. Please use this data to guide discussions during PLCs. Click on the links to access the data for your students. ( I have included the Math, ELA & Science scores.)
