Dear Parents/Guardians,

Please read the following information regarding WIDA testing this school year. We thank you for your cooperation during this time. 

• The state of Michigan requires all English Language Learners (ELLs) to take the WIDA Assessment, an academic English language proficiency test, every year.
• There are four parts to the test:  Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
• Test information and results help teachers plan how best to teach your child and provide proper services.
• Based on this WIDA data, your child’s intervention support is determined.
• The test will be administered in person, and all safety measures to prevent covid-19 will be in place.
• You will receive a reminder phone call before your child’s scheduled assessment day.
• Drop off your child at the main office door. 
• Students must wear masks.
• The test may take 4 hours from 8:45 until 12:45. 
• Please be on time.
• Students will be marked school-related on the day of their test. 
• Students will be provided with a snack. 
• Students will call for a ride when they have finished testing.
• Please pick up your child promptly.

Hello, 

The school is now implementing in person and virtual learning labs in the afternoon during asynchronous learning.  Each week I will have a group of students to work with.  This is to help you with technology issues you may be having with Zoom and Schoology, work on a skill that needs to be reinforced and/or help you get caught up on missing assignments in my class. Our meetings will take place on the following time and day: 

• Zoom Virtual Meeting (Monday/ Wednesday/ Thursday))
• In-Person Learning Lab (Every Tuesday & Friday)
• Please enter the school through door # 2. 

Learning labs are required and your attendance will be tracked.  Please bring the following with you to every Learning Lab Session:

• Laptop
• Pen/Pencil
• Mask if in-person
• Student Screening Tool
