Navigate to School Info > Functions > Language Assessment Management

The Language Assessment Management page is designed to hold various options that will allow you to update Language Assessment Data for all students. If a function is run at the school level, only students with records at that school will be updated. If a function is run at the district level, all students will be updated. This page requires Admin permission to Language Assessment (LAC). Each function runs in the background, and an email is sent when it is complete. The date each function was last run is displayed next to its button.  

• Copy ELPAC Scores to LAC will copy the most recent ELPAC/IELPAC scores from the Test Scores (TST) table into the Language Assessment (LAC) table and will display on the Language Assessment - General tab in the English Test fields. Any information that is already in the English Test area will be rolled over to the Test History tab and the data will be stored in the Language Assess Scores (LAS) table during the copy process if the new test id is different than the one being replaced. When a student has both ELPAC and IELPAC results on record, the process selects the most recent administration based on test date. Test records without a test date are skipped, and Alternate ELPAC and Initial Alternate ELPAC results are not copied. If the existing English test has the same test id as the new one (for example, an older ELPAC replaced by a newer ELPAC), the older scores are replaced and are not saved to Test History. The Designation field is not changed by this process.

• Calculate Years in Program for ALL Students - will calculate the number of full years from the EL Start Date to the EL End Date, or to the current date if there is no end date, for ALL students who have an EL Start Date. The Yrs in Prgm field is updated, and the YPCalc Date is set to the current date. 

NOTE: The function to Calculate Years in Program for Current Student has been moved to the Language Assessment page. The calculator on that page counts school years (starting July 1), so its result can differ from this function. The calculate button shown below will become visible when the Language Assessment page is in edit mode.
