Dear ELL Parent/Guardian:
Welcome to 2025 ! I am the English as a New Language (ENL) teacher who will provide language development lessons and services to your child. It is my job to provide English language development and instruction for your child. Depending on your child’s level of English proficiency, I will provide lessons each day/week at a specific time.
I will be in regular contact with your child’s classroom teacher and will be able to provide extra instruction in areas where the student may be having difficulty because of language. I will also administer assessments required by New York State’s Department of Education, as well as my own assessments, to determine what kind of instruction will most benefit your child.
Please feel free to contact me at any time if you have questions or concerns. I also encourage you to visit the school any time to observe the instruction your child is receiving. It is best to contact me to arrange a day and time! You are welcome to contact me at any time to discuss your child’s progress or any concerns you may have. I can be reached through Parent Square and via email [lstevens@oswego.org]. Thank you for your support, and I look forward to working with you and your child in making this a successful school year!
Sincerely,
Laura Stevens
ENL Teacher
