My daughter born on October 30th 2009. She miss her cut off of joining 1st grade this september 2015. She is in private kindergarten where she is going to complete her kindergarten graduation. The kindergarten is licensed by the state of New Jersey but is not accredit.

I want to avoid having her repeat kindergarten because of the arbitrary age cut-off as she is physically and mentally prepared for 1st grade. Can anyone please guide how to get Roxbury to at least test her to determine placement or should we consider enrolling her in a private school for first grade? (If the latter, can you provide guidance for which accredited first grade program to attend?)

I live in a neighboring town and there's no testing - the date is a hard and fast rule with no exceptions. The only way around it is for the child to complete 1st grade in a school that will take them and start in the township schools in 2nd grade. My friend did this. She went to a school in Warren County so unfortunately a little too far for you, I think. Good luck.
