Dearborn Public Schools requires English Language Learners to be tested annually on the mandated state assessment. Your child will participate in the WIDA ACCESS test.
Testing will begin February 3 to March 20, 2020. This test assesses the listening, speaking, reading and writing skills of ELLs. Kindergarten students will use a paper/pencil version of the test, and students in Grades 1-3 will take the listening, reading, and speaking portion of the test online. The writing will be a paper/pencil version. For fourth and fifth graders the test will be totally online.
Please make sure your child gets plenty of rest and has a good breakfast. Thank you for your continued support.
