During the timeframe of January 23 to February 21, 2025, we will be administering the ACCESS for ELLs test to all ESOL students. This test is an English language proficiency test that measures students’ academic English language skills. Testing helps teachers understand whether students have the language skills they need to fully participate in the classroom.
Your child’s teachers use ACCESS for ELLs test scores as they decide how best to teach your child. Test scores also help teachers track your child’s progress in learning academic English and help schools decide what English language support services to provide.
Your child does not need to study for ACCESS for ELLs. The test is an opportunity for students to demonstrate all the ways that they understand and can communicate in English. Prepare for test day by making sure your child gets plenty of sleep and eats breakfast.
Durante el período del 23 de enero al 21 de febrero de 2025, administraremos la prueba ACCESS for ELLs a los estudiantes de ESOL. ACCESS for ELLs es una prueba que mide las habilidades lingüísticas del inglés académico de los estudiantes. Las pruebas ayudan a los maestros a comprender si los estudiantes tienen las habilidades lingüísticas necesarias para participar plenamente en el aula.
Los maestros de su hijo/a usan las puntuaciones de la prueba ACCESS for ELLs para determinar el major método de enseñanza. Las puntuaciones de las pruebas también ayudan a los maestros a hacer un seguimiento del progreso del niño/a en el aprendizaje del inglés académico y ayudan a las escuelas a decidir qué servicios de apoyo lingüístico del idioma inglés ofrecer.
Su hijo/a no necesita estudiar para ACCESS for ELLs. La prueba es una oportunidad para que los estudiantes puedan demostrar su capacidad lingüística en el inglés. Prepárese para el día de la prueba asegurándose de que su hijo/a duerma lo suficiente y desayune.
Due to legislative action by the SC General Assembly, effective January 7, 2025, all personal electronic devices, including cell phone and smartwatches, are prohibited during the school day. Mitchell Road already had a policy in place prohibiting cell phone use during the school day. This policy now include smartwatches, which should be left at home or stored in your student's backpack 7:45 am to 2:15 pm. Our School Handbook has been updated to reflect this change in policy. Please refer to page 4 of our Student Handbook.
Additional Information may be found on the GCS Website Cell Phone Policy Updates page.
GCS Superintendent Dr. Burke Royster and Sheriff Hobart Lewis ask for parents’ help in ensuring effective reporting of potential threats. The Chiefs of the six local municipal police departments join in full support. We ask parents to monitor your child’s social media accounts closely, help control the spread of false threats and misinformation, and ensure effective reporting occurs. Having your child follow the See Something, Say Something protocols by reporting potential threats directly to the school or law enforcement will maximize the effective use of school and law enforcement resources and ultimately create a safer environment for all students.
