ENL at POLK STREET

At Polk Street School, our ENL (English as a New Language) Department warmly welcomes students from diverse cultural and linguistic backgrounds, celebrating the rich tapestry they bring to our community. We are dedicated to supporting every child’s language development while fostering a strong sense of belonging and identity.

Guided by the five key pillars of the Franklin Square School District—Innovation, Academic Excellence, Joyful Learners, Connectedness, and Care—we create an inclusive environment where students thrive. Through innovative teaching strategies, high academic expectations, engaging learning experiences, and strong relationships, we empower our multilingual learners to grow with confidence, curiosity, and compassion.

In the ENL Department, every voice matters, every culture is honored, and every student is given the tools to succeed—both in school and beyond.
