Students in grades K-2 are officially classified as LF if he or she demonstrates proficiency on the CELLA and a score of 33% or above on the LAB in listening and speaking. The passing scores for CELLA are listed below: K-2=>2050 3-5=>2150 6-8=>2200 9-12=>2250 • Students in grades 3rd -12th are officially classified as LF if he or she demonstrates proficiency on the CELLA and a Level 3 on the Reading FCAT.
An LY/ESE student whose IEP indicates that the CELLA is not a fair instrument to measure his/her English proficiency can exit through an ELL Committee if a language barrier does not exist. • The exit data must be entered on Mainframe screen #19. • A Parent notification of exit is sent home and a copy is placed in the Blue Insert.
The ESOL Contact monitors LF students for 2 years after exit by reviewing the student’s report card. • If the student has a D, F (N, U in elementary level) in any academic subject, a mandatory ELL Committee must be called to discuss the possibility of re-entry into the ESOL program if a language barrier exists.
In cases where a language barrier is determined not to be the cause of low grades, the ELL Committee will recommend alternatives appropriate to the student’s circumstances. • A copy of the ELL Parent notification of the meeting and minutes are filed in Blue Insert and placed after current year’s profile. The originals are sent home to the parents.
A copy of the report card is dated and initialed by the ESOL Contact. • It is filed in the Blue Insert after the current year’s profile. Monitoring date is entered on Mainframe screen #19. For LF monitoring dates, please refer to the LF monitoring information on the ESOL Document bank. • An LF profile is printed for monitored year. • Once the student has been monitored for two years, he or she becomes LZ. • A copy of the LZ profile must be placed in Blue Insert and changes should be made on the mainframe.
From LY to LF • You have now learned what happens when a student’s ESOL status changes from • LY (ELL student receiving ESOL strategies) to • LF (former ELL student, exited within two years).
