<div>Over the past three days, ODE has received several reports from districts regarding students logging into the ELPA using the wrong SSID. It is essential that students carefully check the log-in verification page before starting the test. For younger students,
it is acceptable for the test administrator to provide assistance during the log-in and verification process. To prevent test improprieties, please remind all test administrators involved with ELPA administration to be vigilant during the ELPA Log-in verification.
Test administrators can find tips on assisting students with the ELPA log-in process online at <a href="http://www.ode.state.or.us/teachlearn/testing/admin/ell/elpa_login_0809-.pdf"><font color="#0000FF"><u>http://www.ode.state.or.us/teachlearn/testing/admin/ell/elpa_login_0809-.pdf</u></font></a>.</div>

<div>If you become aware of students in your districts logging into the ELPA using the wrong SSID, please ensure that the students stop testing immediately and report the incident to Holly Edwards, Test Security Coordinator within one (1) business day. The
test impropriety report form is available online at <a href="http://www.ode.state.or.us/go/testsecurity"><font color="#0000FF"><u>http://www.ode.state.or.us/go/testsecurity</u></font></a>. ODE will then work with the district to determine whether a test reset
is appropriate.</div>
