Upcoming ACCESS Testing

ACCESS Testing at Swansea will begin on January 14. Multilingual Learners (MLLs) in grades K-12 participate in the ACCESS for ELLs state assessment. This assessment measures a student’s English language skills in the areas of speaking, listening, reading and writing. ACCESS is used by classroom teachers to determine the level of language support that a student may need during instruction. With this information, we are able to monitor student progress on an annual basis and determine when a student is ready to be placed in mainstream instruction.

Parent Portal Access

SchoolChoice Round 1 begins on January 15 at 10 a.m., and we want to ensure Swansea guardians are prepared. Please make sure you are able to log into your Parent Portal account. If you’re unable to log in to your account, please contact the main office at 720-424-3630.
