Parent Involvement

ESL/ELL—

One of the main strategies to help our ELL learners is through parent involvement. Odem-Edroy ISD would like to offer two-way communication and parental guidance to help increase positive relationships between the home and school.

We want to encourage ELL parents to volunteer in the classroom as well as at school events to have them promote information about the home language and continue to support home language literacy.

We want to provide resources in many different languages so that you are showing that you value all languages and the maintenance of them.

We want to create opportunities for parents to engage in sharing their home cultures and their own expertise because this will foster a positive attitude to ELL children about their first language and learning experiences.

If you, as a parent of and ELL student, would like more information about partnering with your child school, please contact Jana Kieschnick at 361-368-8121, ext. 309 or kieschnickj@oeisd.org
