Parent Notification

Parent Notification

Upon completion of the testing, parents are notified of the results and given a description of the ELD program and the benefits of the program to English language learners. Written notification of the placement must always occur prior to placing the child in the English Language Development program. Parent notification is to come from the district office upon the receipt of the HLS and Placement Profile. Notification via the Notice of English Language Development Program Placement is mailed via USPS.

Written notification must include:

  • Reasons for the identification of the student as needing English instruction.
  • Student’s level of English proficiency and status of academic achievement, if applicable.
  • How the English language instruction program will help the student acquire English and the specific exit criteria for the program.
  • Expected rate of transition from the language program.
  • If a secondary student, the expected rate of graduation.

If the parent notification form is not currently available in the family’s home language, the CLD department will translate the form and mail it via USPS in both English and their native language no later than 30 days from the date of enrollment.
