ACCESS Testing Announcement (for English Language Learners, or Multi-Lingual Scholars!)
I am writing to inform you that between January and March, ELL students will participate in the administration of the ACCESS for ELLs language proficiency test.
ACCESS provides a standardized measurement of academic language proficiency for English Language Learner (ELL) students throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each form of the test assesses the four language domains of Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing. This information allows us to monitor individual ELL student progress on an annual basis.
If you have any questions regarding these tests, please contact your childβs ELL teacher (Denise Hatch or Karen Murphy), or Principal Mike Barth.
Provide Feedback on MCAS
The Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) is inviting students, parents, education professionals, and community members to participate in a survey that will provide feedback on the MCAS program and help inform improvements. The Department is seeking stakeholdersβ input in several areas, including communications and support, data and reporting, and release of test questions. The survey will close at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, January 27. Please contact mcas@doe.mass.edu with any questions.

GREEN MEADOW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUILDING PROJECT
The Green Meadow Elementary School project team has submitted its second MSBA submission! This submission is called the Preferred Schematic Report (PSR) and it advances the initial existing conditions verification, educational visioning & programming and Owner / Community coordination into multiple design alternatives, shows MSBA the design alternative evaluation process taken by the project team, and highlights which design alternative was ultimately selected at the end of the process.
Below is a link to a Google Drive folder that contains the previous Preliminary Design Program (PDP) submission as well as the recent PSR submission. As always, we thank you very much for your attention to the project, and weβll continue to keep you informed as the project moves along the MSBA process!
