Dear WJPS Families,
I am writing with some important updates to the AP Exam this year at WJPS. This year our AP Testing will be held in June. We had a late start this year, and wanted to give our students and teachers every opportunity to prepare.
Due to the size of our building and the small size of many of our rooms, all tests will be offered remotely only.

***Test start times are world-wide start times and non-negotiable with the College Board.
Students will need access to a computer to take the test. This includes Windows 8 or above, Mac OS 10.11 or above, or a school-managed Chromebook. These are the approved devices needed in order to take the test. If you need a device to test, please contact: gino.myrti@wjps.org
AP tests are generally between two and three hours long, though most are closer to three hours. There is one break that separates the test into two sections. In the vast majority of cases, an AP exam starts with a multiple-choice section and then has a free-response section.

This month, students should take two key steps needed to get ready for their digital AP® Exams:

Detailed information about these steps is available in the updated AP Digital Testing Guide (.pdf/21.5 MB). The guide has been updated with expanded information about required pre-exam steps. Any technology questions can be emailed to gino.myrtil@wjps.org |

Dear WJPS Middle School Families,
I am writing with some important updates to the NYS Testing Administration. This year, only Session 1 of the Grades 6-8 ELA and Math tests will be administered to students on a single test date and will contain only multiple-choice questions.
This year students will be tested upon parental consent. If you would like your child to participate in the ELA and Math test administration, please indicate your preference by filling out the survey at the end of this email. Please note that testing will take place in the building, and that your children can participate regardless of whether they are blended or remote.
We will administer Session 1 (multiple choice only) of the ELA exam on Wednesday, April 21 to the 6th, 7th and 8th grade students who opt to test. The make up date will be April 22.
We will administer Session 1 (multiple choice only) of the Math exam on Wednesday, May 5 to the 6th and 7th grade students who opt to test. The make up date will be May 6th. (Note that 8th graders are not included because they are taking Algebra Regents. A separate email will be sent regarding Regents Examinations.
Students coming into the building on testing days must complete a health screening on their phones before entering: https://healthscreening.schools.nyc/ or complete the paper version: PRINTABLE HEALTH SCREENING
Students can enter the building starting at 8:15. Students who are testing will be given instructions on which rooms to report to. Students who are not testing should report to their regularly assigned rooms for regular instruction.
Upon completion of the exam, students who are in-person will report to their regular rooms for the remainder of the day. We are still awaiting guidance from the DOE regarding whether students who are remote can leave after testing.
Finally, there is no penalty for students who do not participate in the examinations.
Important:
PLEASE COMPLETE THIS BRIEF TESTING CONSENT SURVEY by April 12th, 2021.
Thank you for your attention.
Best regards,
Dr. Werner

The NYC Department of Education (DOE) and Wide Open School (WOS) share a belief that online learning resources are an essential component of student learning in the modern classroom and complement teacher instruction. Online resources also support educational equity, which is critical to transforming the lives of all students, especially those with disabilities and who are multilingual learners. This exciting DOE and WOS partnership provides a distance learning site where families and students may access a variety of high-quality, academic enrichment and support resources.
Wide Open School began as a way to meet the change in learning needs of students, teachers, and families due to the coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic has highlighted the invaluable role that teachers play in students' lives. It has also made the connection between schools and families more essential than ever.
Through the site, students are able to complete free self-guided learning activities, and parents, caregivers, and teachers can find the advice and support they seek about distance and hybrid learning. With content curated by Common Sense and an easy-to-use experience designed and built by Amplify, students and families can find resources all in one place.
