ELD Update

Dear Families,

Each year, students in English learner programs take the ACCESS for ELLs language proficiency test. The test measures academic English language proficiency for students learning English in our school and throughout our state.

With this letter is an information sheet about the ACCESS test. Starting January 8th, your student will be taking this test.

We use this information to help make decisions about instruction for your child. We also use these test scores to monitor the progress your child makes toward English proficiency.

Please contact us if you have questions about the ACCESS for ELLs test. You might want to know:

- How do teachers use test results?

- What are the English goals for my child?

- In addition to English, what else does my child learn in school?

Sincerely,

Mrs. Jessa Williams, jwilliams@lebanon.k12.pa.us

Mrs. Raquel Delany, rdelany@lebanon.k12.pa.us

Ms. Danielle Bates, dbates@lebanon.k12.pa.us
