For Parents

Dear Parents,

Thank you for visiting our site! You can help your students make the most of their education by showing an interest in what they're learning and by staying in touch. Research shows that high levels of fluency in their native language helps students succeed in English. Please take a moment to read about the Benefits of Being Bilingual and Raising Bilingual Kids. Don't be afraid to talk about their learning in your native language(s). Also see below for some helpful resources for English language development.
