ELPAC Testing Starts February 8th
Students who are English Learners will start their summative ELPAC (English Learner Proficiency Assessment of California) on February 8th. They will start with the speaking portion of the test. We will contact students and parents via email with the time of their testing. Please look on your parentvue for more information. You should have received a letter outlining this. We will be discussing more about the ELPAC testing at an ELPAC information meeting on Thursday, February 18th at 5pm. Zoom Link- https://sfusd.zoom.us/j/82083886526
Reading Inventory Testing
All Marina students will be taking the Reading Inventory assessment in the month of February in the Language Arts classes. Assessment results provide information for monitoring a child's progress and growth in reading across the school year and across grade levels. Please encourage your student to try their best on the reading inventory.
Pandemic-EBT: Two Steps to Take
California is getting ready to issue Pandemic-EBT (P-EBT) benefits for the 20-21 school year. Eligible families can receive a P-EBT card with funds to purchase food while school buildings are closed.
To receive P-EBT, review the following before February 22:
The State of California will mail cards directly to families March through June. Families do not need to apply. Benefits have recently been increased by 15% and will include any August and September funds not received. Like school meals, P-EBT is available regardless of citizenship status and is not considered a “public charge.” Note: All students enrolled in Community Eligibility Provision schools, receiving CalFresh or CalWORKs, or who are homeless, migrant, or foster, are automatically eligible and do not need to submit the Multipurpose Family Income Form.
