ACCESS Testing for Paine EL Students

Message from Mrs. Killmeyer:

I wanted to give you a heads up that I will be ACCESS testing our Paine EL students Monday 2/26 thru Tuesday 3/5. There will be two testing sessions on these days. If you have students that will be testing, be on the lookout for calendar invites with the approximate testing times, the names of any students you may have that are testing, and any other important information for your students. Please note that testing times are approximate. This test is not timed and a testing session could go longer than anticipated or finish very quickly. If it does finish very quickly, I may try pick up students a bit earlier to finish testing earlier that day- if it’s ok. Please also know that testing days for students could possibly change. Thank-you all in advance! 

Wednesday - District PD

We will have district PD with Dr. Berry in the North Training Room. Please bring all your resources to work on proficiency scales.

Thursday Afternoon - Early Release Time

We will have our MTSS Turnaround Training.

“The only way to do all the things you’d like to do is to read.” – Tom Clancy
