Eligibility for the ESL program is determined based on these assessment results.
ESL/Bilingual services may consist of the following
ESL and/or Bilingual teachers provide our language instruction, and we continually monitor our student language and academic progress in all content areas. Our Bilingual and ESL staff collaborate with the content teachers to ensure that our students are given the language support and resources they need in the classroom.
