ACCESS Reminders!

District Assessment Coordinator (DAC) Confidentiality Agreements

DACs from districts administering the ACCESS for ELLs who have not already completed the 2022-23 DAC Confidentiality Agreement should do so now and submit to OEA as soon as possible. The form may be completed electronically and signed electronically using Acrobat Reader. If your district is not administering the ACCESS for ELLs for 2022-23 be sure to submit your form by March 1.

Student Transfers

If your district receives a new EL during the test window, please fill out the transfer form. We will verify student enrollment in your district and transfer any records in the WIDA AMS.

Students Unable to Participate in a Domain

If a student has a disability which completely prevents them from participating in a domain, they may be eligible to have it waived. The need for this accommodation must be identified in their IEP.
