The WIDA Screener and the ACCESS for EL's are federally mandated assessments and the parents' right to opt out does NOT apply to ACCESS or WIDA Screener.

The WIDA Screener is used to identify students who qualify for English Language Learner services. This is given to newly enrolled students who meet the criteria on the Home Language Survey.

ACCESS for EL's is used to monitor student progress in English language proficiency (ELP) on an annual basis and to serve as a criterion to aid in determining when ELLs have attained language proficiency comparable to that of their English-proficient peers. This is given to all students identified ad English learners (NEP and LEP) in grades K-12.

MAP Testing is a district-mandated assessment and part of our curriculum. All kindergarten through 11th-grade students must complete the MAP test three times per year. There is not an opt-out process for MAP testing. Our districts and the state expect all students to complete MAP testing.

MAP is not like a traditional test. There's no passing or failing, and students are not penalized for wrong answers. The goal of the MAP test is to help us understand exactly where your student is academically so we can support them at the right level. Because of that, the most helpful thing your student can do is simply try their best—independently.

MAP Dates for 2025 - 2026 School Year

These dates will show on the student planner

Fall - 9/29 - 10/3

Winter - 1/20 - 1/23

Spring - 4/6 - 4/10
