Classroom Reports for English Learners

Many of you have already called to inquire about the annual EL classroom reports. We typically post them in mid-October, after the master schedules have become more stable and we better know which students belong to which teachers. We will send you an announcement, probably via a future SAA Update and another direct email. Thanks for your interest in the report. We’re glad you’ve found them so useful! Please direct questions to Susie Millett at smillett@sandi.net.
