Dear Bahia Vista Families,

As we move further into the spring season, it is time for our students to demonstrate their growth in English language proficiency! The ELPAC (English Language Proficiency Assessments for California) is an essential tool that helps us understand how well our students are progressing in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English.

To ensure our students can perform their best in a comfortable environment, we have organized a specific testing schedule by grade level.

Please take a moment to find your child’s grade level below to see when they will be participating:

March 23 – March 27 Group Testing 4th Grade

March 23 – March 27 1 :1 Individual Testing3rd & 5th Grade

March 30 – April 3 Group Testing 3rd & 5th Grade

April 20 – April 24. Writing (Group) 2nd Grade

April 27 – May 15. 1:1 Individual Testing Kinder, 1st, & 2nd Grade

We want our students to feel confident and ready on their testing days. You can support them by:

Note: For our younger students in Kindergarten through 2nd Grade, the one-on-one testing format allows them to work directly with a friendly staff member, ensuring they feel supported every step of the way.

Thank you for your continued partnership in your child's education. If you have any questions regarding these dates or the assessment process, please don't hesitate to contact the front office.

We are incredibly proud of our BV students who are going to be recognized at our 2026 SRCS Reclassification Ceremony. This special evening is dedicated to honoring our students who have reached a major milestone: achieving official proficiency in the English language!

This year, we are thrilled to celebrate 26 of our very own Bahia Vista students for their hard work, perseverance, and academic success.

This achievement is a huge step forward in your child’s educational journey, and we want to celebrate this moment with the entire community. Families, friends, and teachers are all encouraged to attend and cheer on our scholars as they receive their awards.

We look forward to seeing you there and celebrating the bright futures of our Bahia Vista stars!

In service,

Julio Villalobos
