Proud Moment – Southern New Hampshire University Supports Manchester Schools During ACCESS Testing

Written by Lauren Boisvert

Last week, a team of Southern New Hampshire University (SNHU) staff delivered supplies to Manchester School District schools to support students during ACCESS Testing. The team provided snacks and reusable water bottles to ensure that students have what they need to stay focused and comfortable during the assessment period.

ACCESS for ELLs (ACCESS) is a suite of summative English language proficiency assessments. It is administered annually to English learners from kindergarten through grade 12, measuring their progress in acquiring academic English. These assessments play a crucial role in supporting multilingual students as they develop language skills necessary for success in the classroom.

Their generosity and commitment to the students of Manchester exemplify the strong partnership between SNHU and the local school community. A heartfelt thank you to Southern New Hampshire University for your ongoing support and for being a dedicated partner in student success!
