All incoming students are required to fill out the California Home Language Survey. Based on the information in this form, students may be referred for further language testing to identify their specific level of English proficiency. The testing and placement occur using tests required by California (such as the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC)) and using trained test administrators. The Charter School will implement policies to ensure proper placement, evaluation, and communication regarding ELs and the rights of students and parents.  \nHome Language Survey  \nCalOPS will administer the home language survey upon a student’s initial enrollment in a California public school (on enrollment forms). The Home Language Survey consists of the following four questions:  \n● What language did the student learn when he or she fi rst began to talk?  \n● What language does this student use most frequently at home?  \n● What language do you (the parents or guardians) most frequently use when speaking with your child?  \n● Which language is most often used by the adults in the home?  \nIf any of the questions in the HLS indicates the use of a language other than English by the student or in the home, the student must be assessed for language proficiency.  \nEnglish Language Proficiency Assessment  \nAll students who indicate that their home language is other than English will be tested with the English Language Proficiency Assessments for California (ELPAC). The ELPAC has four proficiency levels (Level 4: well developed; Level 3: moderately developed; Level 2: somewhat developed; and Level 1: minimally developed) and is aligned with the California ELD Standards.  \nThe ELPAC consists of two separate assessments:  \n● Initial Assessment (“IA”)  \n○ The ELPAC IA is used to identify students as either an English Learner or as fluent in English. The IA is administered only once during a student’s time in the California public school system based upon the results of the home language survey. The locally scored IA will be the officia l score. The IA is given to students in grades K–12 whose primary language is not English to determine their English proficiency status.  \n● Summative Assessment (“SA”)  \n○ ELs will take the SA every year until they are reclassified as fluent English proficient. The ELPAC SA is only given to students who have previously been identified as an EL based upon the IA results, to measure how well they are progressing with English development in each of the four domains. The results are used as one of four criteria to determine if the student is ready to bereclassified as fluent English proficient, to help inform proper educational placement, and to report progress for accountability.  \nBoth the ELPAC SA and IA are assessments administered in seven grade spans: K, 1, 2, 3–5, 6–8, 9–10, and 11–12. In kindergarten and grade 1, all domains are administered individually. In grades 2–12, the test is administered in groups, exclusive of speaking, which is administered individually.
