States must administer an English language proficiency (ELP) assessment to active multilingual learners (MLs) in grades K through 12 in order to comply with federal requirements. The current ELP assessment administered for this purpose is WIDA ACCESS. All students in grades K-12 who are identified as active ML Students must take WIDA ACCESS or WIDA Alternate ACCESS each spring. This includes student whose parents have waived direct MLP services. MLs must continue to take WIDA ACCESS until they meet the requirements for full English proficiency as established by the Office of Federal and State Accountability. The calendar posted on the slideshow above will let you know when your child will be tested.
The Fountain Inn Elementary Spirit Rock is a great way to share a special message for a FIE student or staff member! You could have anything from Happy Birthday, Congratulations, Good Luck, Thank a Teacher, etc. All proceeds from the Spirit Rock will go toward fundraising for special field trips and events for our 4th Grade students. This year, the Sign-up Genius link will only go through December 2025. In November 2025, we will post the remaining half of the year (January 2026-May 2026.) We hope this will help eliminate extensive scrolling for birthdays farther than a month out.
If you are interested in renting the rock, please make sure you follow these guidelines regarding payment, rules, and reserving your special day.
We are looking forward to an amazing year filled with memorable events, celebrations, fundraising, appreciation and tons of fun!
