English Learner/Multilingual Learner LAS Links Student Reports

LAS LinkS LOGO

LAS Links student proficiency reports are being sent home with EL/ML students. LAS Links is a state-mandated English proficiency assessment that is administered to EL/ML students each year until they meet proficiency and exit the program.

The report gives parents and guardians information about their child's English language ability. It provides scores and ability levels for speaking, listening, reading, and writing. Teachers use the assessment data to monitor student growth in these areas and consider strategies to help students continue to grow in their English language ability. If your child is identified as an EL/ML, look for the report in your child’s backpack.
