New Jersey Student Learning Assessments (NJSLA)

ELL  Exemption

All English language learners must take the New Jersey statewide assessments. The only exception applies to ELLs who entered school in a U.S. state or Washington, D.C., as well as a language assistance program, after June 1 of the academic year in which the assessment will be administered. These students do not have to take the LAL portion of PARCC unless it is required to meet graduation requirements.  Newly arrived ELLs must take the math and science sections.  ELLs from Puerto Rico are eligible for this exemption.

Bottom-line: "Any ELL who arrived after July 1, 2019 does not take the NJSLA -English Language Arts . All ELLs take Math and Science (if the grade level takes the science test). NJSLA was formerly known as PARCC."

The math and science tests are available in Spanish.
