Watson Families, This is a reminder that ELPA21 (English Language Proficiency Assessment) testing will begin tomorrow, Tuesday, March 3, 2026, and will continue throughout the month of March for students who are not native speakers of English. This assessment measures how much our students have grown in their English language proficiency over the course of the school year. It is an important metric at Watson and plays a significant role in how we measure our overall success. We ask that you encourage your child to do his or her personal best each day, take the test seriously, and come to school well-rested and ready to focus. Thank you for your continued partnership and support. #TheWatsonWay 🦅
