Dear EPSD School Community,
In accordance with N.J.S.A. 18A:7C-6.6, the Englewood Public School District provides annual updates regarding all state and district assessments. Please note the following important updates to our 2025–2026 Assessment Calendar:
✅ NJSLA-Adaptive Field Testing
Who: Students in Grades 4–High School
What: Field testing in English Language Arts (ELA) and Mathematics (Algebra I, Geometry, Algebra II based on course completion)
When: October 27 – November 14, 2025 (no testing on November 4, 6, 7, or 11)
Why: This state-mandated field test helps inform the adaptive design of future NJSLA assessments.
📖 DRA and EDL Administration Adjustment
To support the NJSLA field testing window, the DRA3 and EDL Reading Baseline administration for Grades K–2 will now take place November 10 – 25, 2025
The Spring DRA and EDL window remains April 13 – May 8, 2026
These adjustments ensure alignment with state requirements while minimizing overlapping assessment demands on our students and staff.
