ACCESS for ELLs testing, the federally mandated annual English Language Proficiency Assessment for English Learner students, will begin February 1st, 2024 and will continue through March 29th, 2024.

ELL staff at each school will coordinate with principals the specific dates and times for pulling students out for ACCESS testing at the school level. Grade 1-12 students will be scheduled to take the online ACCESS for ELLs, and Kindergarten ELL students will be scheduled to take the paper-based ACCESS for ELLs test individually.

ACCESS for ELLs will assess the students’ English Language Proficiency in four domains: Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. The results of this assessment will be available in June 2024. If you have questions regarding ACCESS for ELLs testing, please do not hesitate to contact the ELL Program Coordinator, Virva Elliott, at 452-2000 ext. 11467 or virva.elliott@k12northstar.org.
