Tool Search: English Learners (EL)
The English Learners (EL) tool allows schools and districts to manage student EL programs, assessments, services, and accommodations. The EL tab provides a central location for managing EL information such as the date the student was identified as EL, when the student entered/exited an EL program, when the student is expected to leave an EL program and First Year/Second Year Monitoring data. For students who exited and/or re-entered an EL program, an historical record is kept and displayed on the tab which can be viewed in both State and District Editions of Infinite Campus.
Some fields in the EL tab are specific to Wisconsin. All other fields in the EL tab do not require unique, state-specific data. However, many of these fields are required and data entry in these fields is necessary. For more information on these fields, see the English Learners (EL) article.

English Proficiency Override
Students with English language proficiency classifications are considered Limited English Proficient (LEP). Students with limited English proficiency are also English Learners (EL) or English Language Learners (ELL). English language proficiency classifications must be determined by DPI-approved instruments and rubrics. These codes are used as a measure of the acquisition of English language proficiency and to determine the appropriate participation in WSAS.
ELL Served
ELL Served indicates if a student who is an English Language Learner is served in English language instruction educational programs designed for English Language Learners (ELLs) and if the program is funded by Title III.
As of the 2019-20 school year, ELL Served is no longer used in state reporting and is used only for district-tracking purposes.
