At the time of enrollment, the Home Language Survey (HLS) is completed by all families entering the district. If the HLS indicates a language other than English the complete record is reviewed by the ELD Head Teacher and ELD Specialists who then conduct a family interview for more information. It is then determined if the student should be screened for English language proficiency (ELP). (When available, previous school records are reviewed prior to ELP screening for indications of ELP.) [In the event of an extended school closure, a preliminary identification is conducted (via Zoom or similar platform) based on the WIDA-ACCESS Placement Test to assess Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking proficiency.] Grade 1-12 students whose overall composite proficiency level is below 5.0 on the WIDA Screener are placed into the ELD program. Kindergarten students whose oral language proficiency is below a 5.0 on the Kindergarten WIDA Screener are placed into the ELD program.
