RESCHEDULED: NEW YORK STATE MATH TEST - WEDNESDAY MAY 13 and THURSDAY MAY 14
Dear Family,
On Wednesday, April 29, connectivity issues across New York State prevented many students from completing the Grades 3 – 8 State Mathematics exam, as scheduled. Students who were able to log in and access the exam without incident completed the test; those who were unable to log in or who were kicked out after having done so were advised to complete the exam at a later date.
The State has yet to identify the cause of the issue. Given this, we are pausing the administration of the Math exam and will reschedule once we receive the assurances, we need that no additional disruptions will occur. We will use the makeup window from May 15 to minimize additional disruptions to our school community and will be back in touch once the exam is rescheduled.
Thank you for your understanding regarding this matter. While the circumstances are unfortunate, we promise that your student’s academic standing will not be negatively impacted by this disruption.
We will keep you posted if any other issues emerge. In the meantime, do not hesitate to be in touch.
Sincerely,
OFFICE OF ASSESSMENT
New York City Department of Education
