Information Regarding ACCESS Testing for Parents:
Dear Parents/Guardians:
The Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA), as reauthorized in 2015, requires all states to set standards for the development of English language proficiency skills for children learning to speak English. State and federal statutes require the state to test students learning English each year.
This letter is to notify you that your child will be participating in the annual English Language Proficiency assessment. This assessment is called the ACCESS for ELLs ®. All students identified as English Learners must
take the ACCESS for ELLs ® during the testing window from Jan 12 –Mar 6, 2026.
This test is North Carolina’s required English Language Proficiency assessment under the Every Student Succeeds Act legislation (ESSA). ESSA requires states to provide an annual assessment of English language proficiency in the
areas of listening, speaking, reading, writing, and comprehension.
We will continue to work with English Language Learners and their families to improve English acquisition and achievement. If you have any questions about this letter, please contact your local school, Yamil Bullock (Director of Title III/LEP programs) at 336-727-2475 or Nareny Martinez (English Learner Parent Engagement Specialist) at 336-748-4000 ext. 70440.
Thank you.

Parkland High School recently hosted the International Baccalaureate’s Festival of Hope, an annual celebration of the power hope has to create a better world. Parkland student hosted eighth graders from Flat Rock Middle School as they wrote holiday cards for local nursing homes, collected food and toys to support families in need over the holidays, and discussed comprehensive strategies for positively affecting civic change. The IB magnet program focuses on critical thinking skills, project management, and looking at problems with a global mindset, and the Festival of Hope is an opportunity for students to practice those skills in the present so they can create a better future.
"I am inspired by how the Festival of Hope empowers students to showcase not just their academic abilities, but their abilities to lead, uplift, show compassion, and serve others that ultimately will have a tremendous impact on our community," said Rhonda Higgins, the IB Middle Years Program Coordinator for Parkland.
