English Language Proficiency Assessment (WIDA)
Our district has designed a plan for the delivery of services that support English Language Learners (ELLs) in their acquisition of the English language. Every school year we use the WIDA to measure the success of these services. This assessment indicates the students’ level of proficiency in English in the areas of listening, reading, writing and speaking.
The Spring WIDA window is from February-April.
Testing Tips Before the Test:
Ensure that your son/daughter get a good night sleep
Ensure that your son/daughter have a good healthy breakfast
Ensure that your son/daughter come to school on time
