Students have done a great job with NJSLA testing so far. Teachers have reported that students are using their time to work thoroughly on each question, are planning out their writing, and are checking over their work! Testing resumes this week with mathematics according to the following schedule. In the mathematics assessment, it is important that students slow down, check their work for careless errors, and fully explain their thinking on open-ended questions and word problems.
5/13-5/15- NJSLA Grades 3-5 Mathematics
5/20-5/21- NJSLA Grade 5 Science

STUDENT ATTENDANCE
As defined by the New Jersey Department of Education and as noted in Wyckoff Board of Education Policy #5200, a student is considered “chronically absent” if he/she misses 10% or more of the school days in session for which the student was enrolled. As we have been in school for 150 days so far this year, you can monitor your child’s attendance as it relates to the definition of chronic absenteeism. Each school is required to report rates of chronic absenteeism to the New Jersey Department of Education. If a student is absent for a State-approved religious holiday or Take Your Child to Work Day, that day would not count towards the chronically absent count. Therefore, it is important to notify the school if that is the reason for your child's absence.
Although it is understood that children may need to miss school occasionally due to illness or other reasons, the importance of regular attendance cannot be overemphasized. Evidence indicates that it is how many days a student misses that matters, not why they miss, when analyzing attendance and educational outcomes. Regular attendance is essential to a child's academic and social growth. Students who frequently miss school lose valuable learning time, exposure to class content, and opportunities to develop positive relationships with classmates.
