Dear Parent/Guardian:

In the spring, your student participated in the New Jersey Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA)
administration to measure their academic performance in English language arts (ELA) and mathematics in
grades 3 through 9 and science in grades 5, 8, and 11 as defined in the New Jersey Student Learning
Standards (NJSLS). Evaluating the results from statewide testing can be a helpful tool in measuring your
student’s success in school. For decades, New Jersey has used statewide assessments as a valuable
instrument for assessing our students’ annual progress.

Posted to the Genesis Parent Portal located under the documents link, you will find one Individual Student
Report (ISR) for each content area in which your student tested. The reports illustrate how your student
performed on each test. There are also charts and graphics that show you how your student performed in
relation to the New Jersey Student Learning Standards and how your student’s performance compares to
other students in their school, district, and the state. Should you wish to receive a printed copy of your
student’s ISRs, please request a copy from the Main Office at your student’s school or the School Counseling
Department at the High School.

Your student’s ISRs are also available in the New Jersey Parent Portal. The online portal includes your
student’s scale score, level of performance, and a video explanation of the score report. The video report
communicates information from the ISR through animations and a voiceover in New Jersey’s top five
languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Portuguese, and Arabic. The Parent Score Interpretation Guide is also
available in those five languages on the portal. The portal allows you to track your student’s scores from year
to year, beginning with spring 2019. If this is the first time you will be accessing the online portal, you must
create an account using the unique claim code that is located on your student’s paper ISR. Additional
resources to help support your student can be found on the New Jersey Assessments Resource Center under
Parent Resources.

Practice Tests are also available in the portal for ELA, mathematics, and science. The practice tests are
designed to allow users to view and interact with the sample items in the same way students interacted with
them during testing. The practice test platforms have a default login of “Guest”; however, users can choose
to enter a name when they begin. Users can respond to sample test items and receive a summary score for
each unit. Additional resources such as the Digital Item Library and New Meridian Item Library are also
available.

If you have any questions, please contact Lauren Buchanan, Department Chair of School Counseling and
Testing, via email at [email protected] or phone at 732-723-2200 x 5047.

Sincerely,

Graham Peabody
