Reporting Absences
Live on Aspen NOW!
 

E-Absence – a new way to report absences – is now live! You can now submit, schedule, and track student absences through the Aspen Parent Portal. That means no more making last-minute phone calls or completing paper forms.

To access Parent Portal, you must:

ACCESS Testing
Window Now Open
 

Each year, students in English learner programs take the ACCESS for ELLs language proficiency test. The test measures academic English language proficiency for students learning English in our school and throughout our state.
 
Teachers in our school use this information to help them make decisions about instruction for your child. Teachers also use these test scores to monitor the progress your child makes toward English proficiency. 
 
If you have any questions, please contact Mr. Argueta.

Todos los años, los estudiantes inscritos en programas de aprendizaje de inglés reciben el examen de dominio del lenguaje—conocido como ACCESS for ELLs. El examen mide el desempeño lingüístico académico del idioma inglés de los estudiantes que son parte de esta población en nuestra escuela y en todo el estado.
 
En nuestra escuela, los maestros usan esta información para asesorarse y tomar decisiones sobre la instrucción de su hijo/a. Los maestros también usan las calificaciones del examen para monitorear el progreso de su hijo/a en el dominio del inglés.
