Parent Permission

If a student qualifies for EL services a parent notification letter will be sent home, so that they may accept or decline their child's participation in the EL program. Parents have the right to choose whether or not their student participates in EL services, unless a student is struggling academically due to their lack of proficiency in English. If this situation occurs, the EL teacher is obligated to provide EL services. ​

However, it is important to note that even though parents may decline services, students who qualify for EL services must take the ACCESS test each year until they reach a level 4.5.
