ELPAC TESTING STARTS 2/26 📝
Parents of English Language Learners
The ELPAC state assessment is here! Please see this informational letter 2023-24 Summative ELPAC Parent Notification Letter from Superintendent, Dr. Ibarra. Testing will be done by your child's ELD teacher with the one-on-one portion conducted by EUSD district testers. This assessment is an important part of your child earning reclassification status. Please encourage your child to eat a good breakfast, ensure they get a good night of sleep, and help get them to school on time. Attendance is always critical, but especially during testing days.
K-2 testing is done one-on-one by a district tester following the completion of grades 3-5. The tester will begin pulling K-2 students as early as mid week next week.
