En español (PDF) | አማርኛ (PDF) | بالعربية (PDF)
Families of English Learner students should complete the WIDA ACCESS Testing Form in PowerSchool to tell us whether your child will participate in in-person WIDA ACCESS testing this spring. At this time, only English Learner families who choose to remain in the 100% Virtual model need to complete this form. When school buildings reopen for the Hybrid model, students who attend school in the Hybrid model will be tested during the school day like in a normal year and therefore do not need to complete this form.
