Bristol Public Schools is proud to provide English language instruction and services to a diverse group of students who speak a multitude of languages.  We are committed to providing high-quality research-based instruction to all our English language learners.  We individualize learning based on each student’s linguistic and academic needs, using methods designed to promote their academic success and proficiency in English speaking, listening, reading, and writing.

At the time of registration with the district, all parents/guardians complete a Home Language Survey that assists us in determining whether the student is a potential English language learner.

The Connecticut State Department of Education (CSDE) has passed legislation to approve a Multilingual Learner English Learner Bill of Rights.  It is important to review these rights, and they can be found here in English and many other languages:  The Parent Bill of Rights.
