Thank you for working on your Reclassification Data Sheets and helping us finalize student reclassifications!

Next steps...

• A Reclassification Profile has been pre-populated for every English Learner with an Overall ELPAC Level of 4 (Well Developed), even if the decision is not to reclassify. You do not need to complete a Reclassification Profile for English learners with an Overall ELPAC Level of 1, 2, or 3. THIS WILL BE SENT TO YOUR SCHOOL SITE BY OLA.

• Whether students are being reclassified or not, all forms must be signed by the teacher and principal/assistant principal. Upon receiving signatures:

1. SEND A COPY of the signed Reclassification Profile home.

-Please click this LINK to access Reclassification Notification Cover Letters for Parents.

2. SEND A COPY of the signed Reclassification Profile to the Office of Language Acquisition. DO NOT staple.

3. UPDATE the front of the Students English Language LEP/FEP Folder.

4. FILE signed Reclassification Profile in the Students English Language LEP/FEP Folder.

• Mercedes Baeza will update the Reclassification date fields in Aeries.

Each school will host a virtual school tour for interested parents and students.

• Magnet Schools on Thursday, January 7th at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.

• Non-Magnet Schools on Tuesday, January 12th at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m.

How will this look? Either using WebX or Zoom, host two virtual meetings. Prepare a welcome/introduction followed by a video of the school highlighting special programs and the amazing facilities at your school site. Then return to a live session to answer questions posted in the chat room.

You all are pros at this! Let me know if you need any clarification on the expectations & times.
