Updated ELL Identification and Continued Eligibility of English as a New Language services
In order to align with 91Ô´´â€™s currentÌýCOVID-19 Guidance, the Office of Bilingual Education and World Languages (OBEWL) has created a revised Parent Notification Letter. This letter has been translated into the 10 languages most commonly spoken by English Language Learners (ELLs) in 91Ô´´ State.
Districts and schools may use this letter to inform them of their child’s ELL Identification status and the continued provision of English as a New Language (ENL) services.
Due to the cancellation of the 2020 91Ô´´ State English as a Second Language Achievement Test (91Ô´´ESLAT), ELLs will be provided services based on their previously determined English language proficiency level.
This updated letter replaces the existing Parent Notification letters for the 2020-21 school year and can be used until further guidance regarding ELL Identification and 91Ô´´ESLAT testing is issued by 91Ô´´.
This letter is available in English and the other 10 languages:
