Multilingual Learner Curriculum
Multilingual Learner Program Beliefs
Multilingual Learners bring a unique set of assets that enrich the experiences of all students and staff. In our district we believe in an asset-based approach to educating multilingual students that honors their primary languages, background knowledge, and experiences.
We believe that every student should have an equal opportunity for success. Every student needs to feel they belong, are understood, and are valued.
