English Learner (EL) programs must be designed to enable ELs to attain:

English language proficiency: In NM, a student is considered proficient in English with an overall (composite) score of 4.7 or higher on the ACCESS for ELLs 2.0
Meaningful access to the standard instructional program within a reasonable length of time.

In Rio Rancho Public Schools, we offer structured English Learner supports through two primary program models:

Content based support with the classroom teacher(s) and English Language Development Coordinator
Pull out sheltered language supports with the English Language Development Coordinator

We take pride in ensuring that the diverse needs of all students are met.Each and every one of us, including parents, teachers, educational assistants, and school administration are key players in supporting all students, including English Learners.

We believe our students deserve the best education. If your child is identified as an English learner, he/she will not be treated differently. Languages are an asset; therefore, the school will ensure that your child receives the language support services that he/she needs to become proficient in English.
