All schools have access to a Spanish-language version of the Math Diagnostic. This should be used only for scholars whose reading and writing abilities are stronger in Spanish than in English. This group should only include newcomers, and only those who scored a 1 on their latest ELPAC score. Students will take the test in Spanish all year to ensure compatibility. Note that non-Spanish speaking newcomers are required to take the test - no exemptions will be granted. See here for a comprehensive guide from i-Ready on using Spanish-language Diagnostics.
