Testing begins this week in NYC Schools.

Be reminded that the achievement gap is a policy choice. Students and Parents have a choice too.

Thank you, NYC Opt Out, for reminding families of their options.

Tiene derecho a rechazar ('optar por no participar') las pruebas del estado de Nueva York de 3.º a 8.º grado para su hijo/hija. 1/6

You can still opt out, right up until the morning of the test. But, it helps schools plan when you let them know in advance so make sure your letters are in now, if you can! Resources at optoutnyc.com

Tests start this week but your kids don’t have to take them! Still time to opt out. Find resources at optoutnyc.com

NYC Public Schools made a video about the upcoming ELA and Math tests for grades 3-8 but they forgot a few things. No worries! We helped them out and fixed it for them here!
You can still opt your child out! Find letters and resources at optoutnyc.com

We’re Opting Out and you should too!

#OptOut because these #state #tests are a waste of time. As a parent of 2 kids who attend #NYC #specialized #HS , opting out doesn't affect your child's ability to take tests. Let #students #learn , let #teach ers #teach NO MORE #testprep more #education

Our statement on CEC 2's resolution:

Supporting the message of our coalition members NYC Opt Out.

Standardized tests have been used to disinvest in our schools. Send a message to the state by boycotting the tests that your child’s teacher doesn’t even get to see to support their growth!
