Over the course of the next two months (1/22-3/15), students at LPS who are considered English Language Learners will take the annual ACCESS test. This test includes 4 domains: reading, writing, speaking, and listening. Mrs. Zeigler, our ESOL teacher, will conduct testing in small groups and/or individually with her students during this testing window. Results from this assessment are used to make decisions about students' English academic language and to facilitate their language development.
