This spring, the Liverpool Central School District will again administer the New York State Grades 3-8 English Language Arts (ELA), Grade 3-8 Mathematics, and Grade 5 & 8 operational tests. Students will use district-provided Chromebooks for both tests.
These tests provide educators important information about your child(ren). The tests measure the skills and standards that are being taught within a grade level. The information gained from these tests help educators adjust instruction, target learning interventions or acceleration for specific students, and identify gaps in our curriculum. Therefore, it is imperative that your child(ren) participate in this year’s New York State Grades 3-8 exams.
