ELPAC: Reminder to Place Orders for Summative ELPAC K–2 Writing

Email Update, December 1, 2025

Dear Select LEA ELPAC Coordinator:

The Summative ELPAC is a computer-based assessment, with students in kindergarten through grade two taking the Writing domain using paper–pencil testing forms. The primary order window opened in the Test Operations Management System (TOMS) on November 3 and closes on December 19, 2025. Primary orders will arrive during the week of January 12, 2026.

In TOMS, the primary test materials order is placed by selecting the [Orders] tab in the navigation bar and then selecting the [Place Primary Order] action tab. To complete the order, follow the instructions on the Place Primary Order screen. For additional help, please refer to the Place Primary Order section in the TOMS User Guide.

Once a primary order has been submitted, the LEA cannot place another primary order. Instead, the LEA must wait until January 22, 2026, to submit a supplemental order during the supplemental order window for materials needed in addition to those in the primary order.

Summative ELPAC primary orders come in bundles of five answer books. Each school’s order will be rounded up to a complete bundle of five. A 5 percent overage, based on the total number of answer books ordered for schools, will be sent to the LEA as an additional supply. The 5 percent overage will also be rounded up to a complete bundle.

For information about the primary and supplemental order dates, refer to the Ordering Test Materials web page.

Direct any questions about test material orders to the LEA’s assigned LEA Success Agent. For further support, visit the Contact Us web page.

Sincerely,

California Outreach Team
