English Language Learners

The Pelham School District provides an English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program as required by State and Federal law (Title III of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act). The program is based on New Hampshire Department of Education’s Guidance and best practice in the area of English language acquisition. All students attending Pelham Schools receive a Home Language Survey upon registration. Based on the information provided by the parents, students may be screened to assess their English proficiency. The results of that screening determine if ESOL services will be provided to the student.
