Parent Notification

Continuation in ESOL - Form C: South Carolina Parent/Guardian Notification of Continuation for English to Speakers of Other Languages Services (ESOL)

Please review the form in its entirety to ensure the correct form is in use. Form C is utilized when multilingual learners (MLs) are already identified in the ESOL program. This PN signifies that the student is continuing in the ESOL program and has not yet met the reclassification/exit criteria in South Carolina. 

Reclassification to Second Through Fourth-Year Monitor - Form M: Parent/Guardian Notification of Reclassification to First-Year Monitoring Status (M2-M4)

Please review the form in its entirety to ensure the correct one is in use. Form M2-M4 is utilized when MLs have met South Carolina's reclassification/exit criteria and is in their second through fourth year of monitored status. Currently, this form is only available in English. 

Waiver of ESOL Services - Form W: Parent/Guardian Waiver of English to Speakers of Other Languages

Please review the form in its entirety to ensure the correct one is in use. Form W is utilized if a parent/guardian requests a waiver after receiving the appropriate parent notification letter. A waiver must never be suggested to the parent/guardian as all MLs should receive services to meet their needs. However, parents/guardians must be made aware of their right to waive services (but not the annual ELP assessment) through the parent notification letter (see provided letters). Waivers are only valid for the school year they are signed in, and must be completed annually by the parent/guardian if services are being waived.
