9-12 Program Model

The MPS Multilingual Programming Framework sets expectations for English language development support and service for students depending on experience and WIDA level. Each school is encouraged to consult with the Multilingual Department to modify these supports to best suit building and student needs. Parents can receive more detailed information from their students' English Language (EL) teacher.
