ELPA Test Window/Information

From Kristen Scott
Administrators please pass the information along to your ESL department as well as your building test coordinator. The window for ELPA officially opens on February 22, however, do not plan on testing when the window opens.
David Rand should be receiving his notification soon to go into the testing system. David will then look to see what we will need from buildings around groupings of students and teacher test administrator names. This is the easy part of the process. The difficulty lies in that we still have not received the actual testing application so that TIS can put the icon onto the machines in the buildings. As stated in the February 3rd meeting, please have several alternate schedules on hand for this test. More information will follow, but if you have questions or concerns please contact Kristen Scott or David Rand.
