The New Jersey Start Strong assessments measure skills and standards students were expected to have learned during the previous school year. Results from the Start Strong assessment are intended to indicate a student's readiness for his/her current Mathematics and English Language Arts classes. At WEMS, the NJ Start Strong Assessments will occur during Block 1 on September 22 and September 23. Please encourage your child to do his/her best. Room rosters will be provided to students on Wednesday, September 21.
To prepare for the NJ Start Strong assessment, please take note of the following items:
- Chromebooks are required. Be sure to fully charge your Chromebook the night before.
- Cell phones, smartwatches, and other smart devices are not allowed.
- Students may bring a book to read at the conclusion of testing.
