ACCESS TESTING – 1/17-2/10

Posted January 3, 2023

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.
Merrill Middle School will be administering the assessment between January 17 –
February 10, 2023.
