Congratulations to these students for reaching reclassification levels!
During our ELAC meeting this past week, we celebrated the reclassification of these amazing students for their high levels of proficiency in English aquisition! This is one of the goals of the Dual Immersion program and it's not an easy task. These students must not only demonstrate the highest levels in the English Language Proficiency Assessement for California, but they also need to be at grade level in our district's iReady Englsih reading assessments or the Language Arts state test! These student's are truly shining stars and we are so proud of them for their hard work!
