In this section, you will find information about how English language learners are identified and how their English language proficiency is tested and monitored.
The home language survey (HLS) is a questionnaire given to parents or guardians that helps schools and LEAs identify which students are potential ELs and who will require assessment of their English language proficiency (ELP) to determine whether they are eligible for language assistance services.
CA and Federal Education Codes requires that parents/guardians be notified of ELD Program placement within 30 days of the start of school. These letters are available in English, Spanish, and Armenian.
The brochure accompanies the Initial ELD Program Placement Letter.
Given 30 days after arrival to a California School.
Given annually to students identified as English Language Learners.
A website for parents to use to help them understand the ELPAC tests.
