Farrell B. Howell ECE-8 School

ACCESS Testing

07/18/22, 4:48 PM

Dear Howell Family,

Beginning tomorrow, Multilingual Learners (MLLs) in grades K-12 will participate in the ACCESS for ELLs state assessment.  This assessment measures a student’s English language skills in the areas of speaking, listening, reading, and writing.  ACCESS is used by classroom teachers to determine the level of language support that a student may need during instruction.  With this information, we are able to monitor student progress on an annual basis and determine when a student is ready to be placed in mainstream instruction.   

Farrell B. Howell  will be administering the assessment on the following day(s):

Junior Academy (JA) grades 6-8 - Tuesday, January 11th, 2022

Kindergarten - Tuesday, January 11th, 2022

Elementary grades 1-5 - Tuesday, January 18th, 2022. 

If  you have any questions about the testing schedule, please contact

Eva Galindo

Please be sure that your student arrives on time for their scheduled day(s) so that they do not miss sections of the test, as this would require a make-up session.  We will continue to follow all health protocols during testing as required by the district at the time of the test.   

If you have general questions regarding the assessment, please contact your student’s teacher.

Thank you,

 

School Principal/Director
