The ELPAC state assessment is here! Please see this informational letter 2023-24 Summative ELPAC Parent Notification Letter from Superintendent, Dr. Ibarra. Testing for grades 3-5 will be done by your child's ELD teacher with the one-on-one portion conducted by EUSD district testers. This assessment is an important part of your child earning reclassification status. Please encourage your child to eat a good breakfast, ensure they get a good night of sleep, and help get them to school on time. Attendance is always critical, but especially during testing days.

K-2 testing is done one-on-one by a district tester following the completion of grades 3-5. The tester will begin pulling K-2 students as early as mid week this week.

• Consistently applies learned skills and knowledge to real-world problems
• Self advocates and persists through challenges
• Takes risks and approaches learning with a growth mindset

At our next ROAR Assembly on 4/8 we will be honoring students who exemplify these qualities.

Saturday, March 9th, 10:00 AM - 1:00 PM EUSD will be hosting our annual FREE smART Festival--a student visual and performing arts showcase and story exhibition. Please see attached flyer for details:
