ELPAC LEA Test Administrations

Unlike CAASPP, ELPAC has a fixed statewide testing window. Because LEAs are unable to alter the ELPAC testing windows, the test administrations will be view only.

Use the [Admin Calendar] tab on the LEA Test Administrations screen to view a list of administration calendars for test administrations that are associated with the LEA for ELPAC.

To view the ELPAC administration:

  2. LEA Test Administration(s)—ELPAC Admin Calendar—View the instructional calendar start date and the instructional calendar end date in the Administrations table on the View and Set Up Administrations screen. Select the [View Summary] link to view the summary information for the corresponding administration.
  3. ELPAC Administration Calendar Summary—View the summary information for the ELPAC administration.
