Every spring, the New York State English as a Second Language Achievement Test (NYSESLAT) is given to all English Language Learners (ELLs) in grades K-12. The results are used to determine your child’s progress in learning English and the level of English as a New Language services your child will receive for the following school year.
This year, once again, the New York State Education Department (NYSED) has determined that assessments will be school-based and in-person, and it will not be possible to administer any of the exams remotely.
The NYSESLAT helps you, your child, and your school understand your child’s proficiency in English in the areas of reading, writing, listening, and speaking. The NYSESLAT is administered over two or more days.
This year, the exams will be administered, in-person, at RFKCHS, within the following dates:
Speaking section: Will begin April 14th until May 22nd (Students will be given passes).
Listening, Reading, and Writing Sections: RFKCHS Testing dates May 6th, 7th & 8th; Periods 1, 2 and 3 in the school cafeteria.
*Note: ELLs/MLLs MUST take all four subtests of the NYSESLAT (i.e., speaking, reading, listening, and writing) in order to receive a valid score.
