Dear Educators Serving ELLs:

This message is being forwarded to you from our Division of Assessment.

Announcement for 2008 Posting of ACCESS data

Wide-spread, weather related school closings during the Assessing Comprehension and Communication in English State to State (ACCESS) testing window delayed the return material shipping and the receiving of materials by the contractor.  The impact on the schedule is that the original intended delivery date is not going to be met.  Every effort is being made to get the results from the contractor by May 2nd; but that transfer may not occur until May 9th.  Online posting of this data for the field, via the agency’s IWAS system, will follow shortly after this transfer.  ISBE will provide updates via the assessment and DELL listservs.
