WIDA ACCESS is Right Around the Corner!
Important WIDA Information
The following will be the point person on each campus:
NES: JG Stratton
SW: Kim Quintero
WES: Ashley Miller
CMS: Jodi Ayers
CHS: Stephanie Bridgeman
The State of Oklahoma has set the WIDA ACCESS testing window for January 13th-March 27nd. Specific testing dates for each campus will be sent out in the near future.
ALL testing should end by March 13th with only makeups the week of March 23rd.
EL classes will not meet during the district WIDA testing dates that will be shared soon
EL assistants will help in the testing room during the testing time period.
Effective Spring 2018 (last Spring): WIDA scores will be added into the district accountability score according to growth. The baseline data was taken from 2017 WIDA scores. (15 out of 90 points, 17% of school report card)
This means EL students are essentially counted twice on the district accountability score: WIDA and OSTP.
Thank you for being flexible!
