English Learners/Multilingual Learners

How does our ESL Program help English Learners/Multilingual Learners (ELs)? 

The ESL Program helps students to develop their proficiency in English, and to succeed alongside their peers in the classroom. ESL Staff look carefully at the strengths and needs of each individual student and plan ESL services accordingly. In many cases, this involves a combination of support within the classroom (called “push-in”), and focused instruction in the ESL room (called “pull-out”). While we emphasize vocabulary development, we address all language areas (speaking, listening, reading, and writing) in compliance with current research and all state and federal mandates.
