Update for ELL
English Language Learners
November 28th
ACCESS testing is starting next week! Our larger testing sites will be in Madison, Milwaukee, Green Bay and Racine. Thank you to all of you who have confirmed testing! If you have not responded yet about testing please check your emails. We have contacted most families about testing, so if you have not heard, feel free to reach out.
If you want to find out what ACCESS testing will be like ahead of time or have your students try out questions, go to: https://wbte.drcedirect.com/WIDA/portals/wida and choose any of the options except WIDA screener.
Our ELL staff will be traveling around Wisconsin testing students in December and January. We try to avoid missing class time with students but sometimes will need to cancel our sessions. Thank you for understanding.
There is no school for winter break on December 25th through January 1st. There is school on Friday, December 22nd. We will return back to school after break on Tuesday, January 2nd.
