5th Grade Spring Events AAPPl Assessment

2023-2024 5th Grade Spring Events

Our 5th students will be participating in second language proficiency testing in March. The web-based assessment is called the ACTFL Assessment of Performance toward Proficiency in Languages (AAPPL) and is used to measure how students are developing in their target language proficiency (listening, reading, speaking, and writing). The testing window will be from March 18th through March 28th. Though this is our testing window, it does not mean students will be tested every day of the testing window.

We will begin reviewing the test format with students during class to ensure everyone is prepared for this assessment.
