The testing window for our ACCESS test will open on February 23rd and run through March 10th. Kindergarten ELL students will take an individual test to assess language proficiency levels. 1st- 5th grade ELL students will take a series of 4 tests to assess Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking language domains. These four tests will occur on separate days throughout the testing window.
Some moments in time are worth remembering forever. The years we spend during elementary school walking the hallways with friends, and learning together are memories we hold for a lifetime.
