Online English Learner (EL) Program

Identification and Intake Assessment

As part of the district’s enrollment process, all parents are asked to fill out a Language Use Survey. Suppose the Language Use Survey indicates a language other than English is spoken in the home. In that case, an English language proficiency assessment screener (ELPA Screener) will be administered within 30 days of the start of the year or within two weeks of their enrollment if they begin after the first day of school. Students who lack English proficiency, per the ELPA screener, are eligible for English language development instruction as part of the ELD program.


Annual Language Proficiency Assessment

All eligible students are for instructional services from the English Language Development (ELD) program will be assessed each spring using the state’s English Language Proficiency Assessment for the 21st Century (ELPA21). This includes students who are currently receiving ELD instructional services and those who qualify for ELD services but have waived services. This assessment uses researched-based measures to assess the four areas of English language proficiency: speaking, listening, reading, and writing. As students progress through the program, parents will receive annual results from the ELPA21.
