Access Testing: 

This applies for our English Language Learner students or more commonly known as ESL students, meaning students that speak a language other than English at home. This evaluation is given to all ELL students every year to measure student progress towards language development.

Families of ELL Students in the DISTANCE LEARNING Model should expect a phone call from STEM staff to set a time to come to STEM to have your student take the test. More details will be provided during the phone call.
