A Message from Principal Laughlin
Dear WIS Parents / Guardians,
During the month of May, Wall Intermediate School students will be participating in the New Jersey Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA). Students in all grades will be assessed in the areas of Language Arts and Math and in grade eight for Science.
Testing will be as follows:
- May 5th & 6th - Science (8th grade only)
- May 12th & 13th - ELA (all grades)
- May 19th - Math (all grades including ALG and GEO classes)
- May 20th - Math (all grades including ALG and GEO classes)
- May 21st - Math (all grades NOT including ALG and GEO classes)
Please make sure your child is well rested and comes to school with a fully charged Chromebook each day of testing. Additionally, if your child does have a pair of "wired" earbuds, please have them bring them in to use for the test.
Sincerely,
EL
