Our next Greendell/Full Year Distance Learning English Learner Advisory Committee (ELAC) is scheduled for Tuesday, March 2nd at 5:00 pm. ELAC is a committee made up of families of English Learners, school staff, and other school community members to promote school activities and provide information on the PAUSD English Learner program and the needs of English Learners.

The topic of our ELAC meeting will be a discussion on the upcoming Summative ELPAC (English Language Proficiency Assessments for California) assessment and how remote testing is done.

Families are invited to join us on Tuesday, March 2nd beginning at 5:00 pm by clicking on this Zoom link.

Greendell School and the Full-Year Distance Learning Program's Site Council met to finalize our school and program's goals for this year. After reviewing the goals, the site council felt strongly about adding a social-emotional learning goal (SEL) for our students.

Below is the SEL goal that was developed:

"Focus on student and family connectedness in our Full-Year Distance Learning School community. Provide students with social-emotional learning that builds a school culture that is positive and supportive for all students and their families."

In order to measure our progress on this important goal, we adapted a survey for our families to complete now and again at the end of the school year.

Please help us by completing the SEL survey included in this Newsletter.

Thank you very much!
