SILK Training

From Penny Atchley
Mandatory SILK Training for Secondary Attendance Clerks on Wednesday, October 5th in room 268.

ELPA21 Results-Update

From Kristen Scott
Administrators,
The following information was emailed to your ESL staff:
I wanted to update all of you concerning information I learned today in the monthly ESOL webinar put on by the state.
Cut scores and performance categories were approved by the ELPA21 Consortium and sent to Questar yesterday. Questar now has to put that information into all of the testing data on individual students; once that is done the data will be sent to CETE. Once CETE has all of the information uploaded and configured the data will be released to KSDE. So what that all means now is that it might be November until we get the results.
Please remember that for students who were with us and already had an ILP, we are continuing with that ILP. You are creating new ILPs for any new student into our system.
If I am notified that this may change I will let you all know. Until then if you have any questions please let me know.
