Miller Weekly Update

Dear Parents and Guardians,

The Joyanne D. Miller School will be administering the New Jersey Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA) beginning Monday, May 1, 2023. The NJSLA is a computer-based assessment that measures student academic performance level of current grade standards in ELA and Mathematics. 5th Grade students will also be assessed in Science. The NJSLA will provide feedback to teachers, identify student areas of academic strength, and pinpoint areas where additional support may be needed.

We strongly encourage all of our students to attend school during this testing time. Please refer to the following test dates for Joyanne D. Miller School:

Grade 5 ELA – May 1, 2, & 3, 2023

Grade 5 Math – May 9, 10, & 11, 2023

Grade 4 ELA - May 4, 5, & 8, 2023

The 5th grade ELL students rehearsed and performed a readers theater about the seven continents. They were each assigned a continent that they researched and created a prop to go along with their chosen continent. They practiced all week, and then the classes performed for each other at the end of the week.
