NJDOE Kindergarten to Third Grade Self-Assessment Validation System (K-3 SAVS)
The Kindergarten to Third Grade Self–Assessment Validation System (K–3 SAVS) is a suite of support tools and protocols to help New Jersey school districts review and voluntarily raise the quality of their K–3 Program. It is an optional self–assessment, has no state mandates, and was intentionally designed so that each program has the autonomy to prioritize its own unique values and growth plans.
