Please note: even though writing prompts aren't mandatory for middle school, writing samples are needed for reclassification purposes. So, your ELD coordinator may ask you for an unedited, in-class writing sample that shows that an RFEP candidate can write "on grade level."

Monitor student work, particularly reading and writing, for students that can be reclassified using the most recent ELPAC score received from the spring assessment (must have overall score of 4).

All teachers: administer iReady (grades 6-8) at the beginning and end of the school year.
