ELAC/DLAC
The English Learner Advisory Council (ELAC) is comprised of parents, community members and school staff. The ELAC recommends ideas for school improvement to meet the needs of the English Language Learners. The meetings will be about 30 minutes in length and meet 4 times a year.
Meeting 1: The first meeting is always held on the Back to School nights for parents. See student
flyer for time/details. The purpose of this meeting is to connect EL parents with site
resources and to review student transcripts regarding student's academic progress
as they enter the current school year. This is an informal, personal time to meet with the site EL Coordinator to understand how to best support their student during high school.
Parents are encouraged to ask questions about their student, about high school and
course expectations, and graduation requirements.
Meeting 2: This meeting typically takes place in Nov.-Dec. Please see agenda for meeting details.
The meeting will help parents understand the academic progress of their child in ensuring
they are on track to finish the semester strong and understand the process for
reclassification from a designated EL student to a reclassified English Proficient (RFEP)
student.
Meeting 3: This meeting is the annual district celebration of reclassification for students who have
met the reclassification requirements. The meeting date will be determined by the EL
Learner District Office. Look for a personal invitation to be delivered through your
child in the Spring once the date is set. An email will also be sent through Infinite
Campus.
Meeting 4: This meeting will be a final overview of your students academic progress for the year they
are completing. This is an opportunity to meet with a counselor to understand the
individual students graduation plan and postsecondary plans.
