The parent will also check a box stating that they understand a request to correct an error on the HLS can only happen if:\u003Cbr>1) The child has not yet been assessed for English proficiency; and\u003Cbr>2) Corrections are made within two calendar weeks of child’s enrollment\u003Cbr>Only one survey is completed for each student.
