ELPAC Family Letter- Families of English Learners The following letter is for parents/guardians of English learners at Schmitt. Testing Continues this week.
As an English learner, your child will take the Summative English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC) this spring. The Summative ELPAC measures how much progress your child is making in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English. This test will give your child’s teacher information about where your child may need extra support.
Your child will take the Summative ELPAC every spring until they are fluent in English and no longer need support to understand and learn in English. The whole group testing will take place this week: 3/21-3/23 for grades 1st-5th.
You are an important part of your child’s education. To make sure your child feels comfortable taking the test, you can:
Explain to your child that a test is a tool to help them learn and to not be anxious or scared.
Remind your child that you and their teacher want them to try their very best.
Explore a practice test with your child at elpac.org/resources/online-practice-and-training-test/ so they are familiar with the platform and setup.
Talk with your child’s teacher about their listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills to help support their learning.
Make sure they get a good night's rest and eat breakfast.
You will receive your child’s results at or before the beginning of the next school year. The results will identify where your child is doing well or needs more help, so you can better support their learning at home and teachers can better support their learning in the classroom.
To learn more about these tests, go to the ELPAC Starting Smarter web page at elpac.startingsmarter.org/
