ELPAC Administration

Due to campus closures as a result of Sonoma County being on the state watchlist, we are in a holding pattern with next steps for the administration for the Initial ELPAC and the optional fall Summative ELPAC. We are waiting for guidance from the state regarding this as well as the Annual and Initial parent notification letters. Information will be posted here as soon as it is available. 

 

In the meantime, please check ELPAC.org regularly for updates. As of August 5th they have updated their page to read “The CDE and ETS are currently working on guidance for remote testing. LEAs should not attempt remote testing until guidelines are available.”

 

Additionally, please read through the English Learner Services During COVID-19 FAQs released by the CDE.
