ACCESS TESTING:
During the months of January and February, students who receive ELA services at SHHS will be completing the ACCESS test. It is important that students taking ACCESS attend all classes during the testing window. We are developing a schedule that will minimize the amount of time that students will miss class to complete ACCESS. However, some students may be pulled from their class in order to complete the required assessment. If your child is pulled from class, their attendance will reflect a "J" indicating they were testing.
Please support your child in their effort to complete any work they may miss during the testing process.
What is ACCESS? The ACCESS is a secure large-scale English language proficiency assessments administered to Kindergarten through 12th grade students who have been identified as English language learners (ELLs). The assessment is given annually to monitor students' progress in acquiring academic English.
If you have questions, please call 720-886-5448.
