Upcoming EL ACCESS Assessment
From Ms. Swanson (EL teacher):
Assessment will begin the week of Jan. 20th. The window for testing closes before spring break but I'm hoping to have it finished by mid-February.
There are some students who chose not to take the EL class and they will still need to take the assessment which means I'll have to pull them from other classes. There are 4 parts to the test and each part will be on a different day lasting for one class period.
