(Sent via email 09/15/20) Parent Meeting Recap: 
Dear Lincoln Families, 

Thank you for joining us for our MAP Growth parent meeting. As promised, here is a recording of our presentation. I am also including the most current Google Slides presentation and a list of all the links that you will need for this upcoming assessment.

Resources:
● Slides presentation of our meeting

What are we asking our families to do before the test:
1. Please test the computer/device your student will be using for this test by going to  https://check.nwea.org/

 2. Complete this survey to tell us your results:  https://forms.gle/ecUnii9KqaBbCDGg7

 3. Take a practice test with your child:   https://studentresources.nwea.org/index.html
                 (username =grow, password=grow).

 What are we asking our families to do the day of the test:
 4. Please be available to support your child during the initial login. Once the student is testing, they should be able to do this independently.

a. Your child’s teacher will provide a parent memo for each day of the test with ZOOM links & Session ID

b. The session ID and password will also be provided during the Zoom

c.  Students will select his/her name from a list and start testing.

Having students test from home is uncharted territory for us at school. Urge your son/daughter to try their best, as we would like these results to reflect their current abilities. We will not be using this data for any kind of placement, nor will it be included in any part of his/her grade. It is a diagnostic test to allow us to identify areas where your child is strong and help them with answers in any way.

Thank you for all of your ongoing support,

Principal Katherine Castleberry

Part of the California public school system, our programs are offered to high schools students as well as adults in the South Bay and surrounding communities.

SoCal ROC’s programs and career pathways will provide you with the quality educational experiences that will tap into your passion and open doors to exciting career opportunities. I am thrilled that you have chosen SoCal ROC to pursue your career interest. I know you will understand very quickly why our motto is “Education with a Purpose!”

DELMAC

Visit the DELMAC website

The District English Learner Multicultural Advisory Committee (DELMAC) is intended to provide a forum for sharing information with parents, as well as to allow a regular means for parents to communicate their needs, concerns, and suggestions at the District level. DELMAC Activities are designed to engage families in the processes associated with the education of students who are identified as English language learners. Each California public school district, grades kindergarten through 12, with 51 or more English learners must form a committee to advise the district's local governing board on programs and services for English learners1. 

ELMAC

English Language Mulitcultural Advisory Commitee (ELMAC) meetings are held with the parents of English Language Learners four times a year. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss the school program and obtain ideas on how Lincoln Elementary can better focus on the student’s educational needs as an English Language Learner.
