RE:  ACCESS Materials Arrival and Additional Materials Ordering 
Your state's ACCESS for ELLs and Alternate ACCESS for ELLs test materials will be delivered on Monday, December 7, 2020.  Your Additional Materials Ordering Window begins on Monday, December 7, 2020 and ends on Friday, March 26, 2021.

The initial test materials will be shipped to the address that is listed in WIDA AMS under Materials > Material Ordering.  Locate the address by selecting the correct administration, and district filter set to All.  Click Show Materials.  The address will be at the bottom of the Order Materials sub tab.  
All materials shipped are secure and must be signed for upon delivery.  Please notify the correct staff at those addresses that a secure testing shipment will be arriving on the date listed above.  

MATERIAL INVENTORY
Along with the test materials ordered during the initial material ordering window, the district will receive the following information in its shipment.  
  • Packing List - Lists all materials shipped to the district.
  • Security Checklist - Lists all secure materials shipped to the district (with barcode ranges).
  • School Box Range Sheet - Shows the number of boxes packaged for each site within a district.  For district sites, the School Box Range Sheet will identify the number of boxes packaged for each school and the district.  
These ancillary materials are used to inventory the materials that were received for testing.  Every district will have a Security Checklist.  It is the responsibility of the district personnel to verify the secure materials against the checklist.
ACCOUNTABILITY FORM
Any discrepancies found in the secure materials should be noted on the Accountability Form located in WIDA AMS under Materials > Accountability Form.  Select the school with the material discrepancy.   At the bottom of the list of materials, there is a space labeled "Record reasons for discrepancies here" Record the secure barcode of the material and list the discrepancy.  
During your state's Additional Materials Ordering window, you may order additional test materials in WIDA AMS as needed.  

Note the following:  
  • The initial shipment included extra copies of materials.  The extra materials must be used before any orders for additional materials may be placed.    
  • Additional orders must be placed by District Test Coordinators only, and these orders will be shipped directly to the district.
  • Test Administrators that need additional materials must consult with a District Test Coordinator to determine whether the district has the material on hand or whether an order for additional materials may be placed.
To order additional materials, log into WIDA AMS and select Materials > Additional Materials.  Then, select the Administration, District, and the District-Level Additional Orders Only Site.  The Add Order button will activate once the district-level ordering site is selected.  
Important Note: The District-Level Additional Orders Only Site is only to be used for Additional Ordering, not initial material ordering.
