Abstract	Despite the COVID-19-related school closures, school districts are handling enrollment of newly arriving students or students who will be starting Kindergarten in school year 2020-21. The school closure and health-related requirements of social distancing impede staff from conducting in-person screening for English proficiency as required by state educational agencies and the protocols of specific assessment instruments. This document provides sample questionnaires across grade bands that are designed to provisionally identify students as English learners (ELs) during the COVID-19-related school closures, which impede the administration of face-to-face screening protocols. Provisional screening protocols and interview questions do not replace the formal identification process, which districts are required to administer as soon as possible once school resumes normal operations for any student who has been given a provisional status. These sample questionnaires must be considered in light of guidance provided by the U.S. Department of Education fact sheets and funding information related to COVID-19. The sample questionnaires are designed to assess particular skills to help schools understand how much support students will need in a remote learning environment in which they are not in their usual classroom routines, and thus, are not able to fully interact and learn from peers who may be more proficient in English.
