P.S. 76Q THE WILLIAM HALLET SCHOOL
**Dear parents of 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students ONLY please see an important message below regarding testing**
Dear Families,
As we head into the spring, I know many of you have questions about standardized testing. In a typical year, State exams would be administered to nearly all students in their physical classroom. This year, many of our students are learning remotely, but the New York State Education Department (NYSED) has required that exams must still take place in-person in the school building. It will not be possible to administer state exams remotely. Therefore, we are contacting you to determine if you would like your child to participate in this year’s State exams. New this year, parents must opt-in.
It is very important you let us know if you would like your student to participate in this year’s State exams so that we can prepare and create a testing schedule that ensures the health and safety of all of our students. Please read the attached documents for more information about this year’s exams.
If you would like your child to participate in this year’s State exams, please notify us by completing the Google Form below by April 13,2021. If you do not wish to have your child test you do not have to take any further action.

If we do not hear back from you by April 13, 2021, your child will not participate in state testing.
