English Learner (EL) Screening

All families enrolling students in Hilliard City Schools complete the Language Usage Survey (LUS).

Students whose families indicate they use a language other than English on the LUS, will be screened to determine eligibility for English Learner (EL) services.

The screening process may include a review of school records, completion of the Ohio English Language Proficiency Screener (OELPS), or a more detailed discussion with the family about a student’s linguistic experiences.

Parents will be informed if students qualify for EL services in a timely manner in accordance with state and federal guidelines.
