Event Description

The ACCESS for ELLs test window has been moved to February 22 - April 30 (from December 1 - February 26). We understand the challenges of administering the test to English learners (ELs) during this time when the number of COVID-19 cases is high.

Districts are still required to administer an annual English Language Proficiency (ELP) assessment to all English Learners (ELs) under both state and federal law ( Wis. Stat. § 115.96 (1) and 34 CFR 200.6 (h)). WIDA, the vendor for our statewide ELP assessment, ACCESS for ELLs, is unable to provide a remote version for the 2020-21 school year.

We will continue to monitor the evolving situation and provide regular updates.
Updated assessment dates can be found here: https://dpi.wi.gov/assessment/ell/calendar

On January 20, 2021, DPI will load the public school pre-ID ACCESS roster data. To ensure your data is accurate at the time of the pull, please make any SIS updates by several days prior to the load.
