Principal's Message
Can you believe we already hit the 100th day of school? This year is just flying by and the learning isn’t over yet. Thank you to all those families who participated in The Kindness Week Challenge!
We are beginning ELPAC testing this month for our English Learner students. CAASPP/ SBAC testing will begin after we return from Spring Break.
Residency Verification Forms have been sent out. If you have not received it, please contact the front office. They are due on February 28th.
Please be sure to read all the information below.
Sincerely,
Ms. Johnson
Harvey Green Paper Drive
February 24th through March 6
It’s official, we are halfway through the school year! To celebrate we are having a Paper Drive!!
The class that brings in the most paper, will be honored by having a Pizza Party!!
Why are we having a Paper Drive halfway through the year?
Harvey Green Staff has been doing their best to conserve paper, including replacing print publications with electronic ones, re-using paper, double-sided printing and general reduction in use. However, there is simply less money for office supplies and our paper is one of the top budget essentials Harvey Green needs to get through June.
If you would like to participate, bring copy paper to your classroom, from February 24th through March 6.
The class with the highest percentage of reams brought in, will receive a Pizza Party!!!

Per FUSD School Board Policy 5113.1, students who have 10 consecutive unexcused absences will be dropped from enrollment and may re enroll at FUSD Student Support Services upon their return. They will be assigned to a school with an available space at that grade level. This may not be the school they were attending before the absence.
Independent Study (IS) contract may be granted for absences between 5 and 10 consecutive days. You must apply for the contract at least 10 school days before the start of the absence. Permission to have an IS contract is at the discretion of the school and will be based on the student's academic performance and their history with previous IS contracts.

ELPAC
The Summative English Language Proficiency Assessments for California, or “Summative ELPAC,” is the test used to measure how well students understand English when it is not the language they speak at home. Information from the ELPAC tells your child’s teacher about the areas in which your child needs extra support.
This spring, your child will take the Summative ELPAC.
Students in kindergarten through grade twelve who are classified as English learners will take the Summative ELPAC every year until they are reclassified as proficient in English. Students are tested on their skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Your child’s voice is being recorded as part of the Speaking test. A small percentage of student responses will be used to validate the accuracy of scoring and will not be used for identification. All recorded responses will be destroyed after the scores are validated.
You are an important part of your child’s education. To help your child get ready for the test, you can:
· Read to your child, or have them read to you on a regular basis.
· Use pictures and ask your child to tell you what they see, or what is happening in each picture.
· Provide your child with opportunities to use language outside of school.
· Talk with your child’s teacher about your child’s listening, speaking, reading and writing skills to help support their progress.
To learn more about the ELPAC, go to the California Department of Education Parent Guides to Understanding Web page at https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/ca/parentguidetounderstand.asp.
You also can look at sample test questions on the practice tests, which can be found on the ELPAC Web site at https://www.elpac.org/resources/practicetests/.
If you have any questions about your child taking the ELPAC, please contact
Ms. Johnson, Green School Principal
