Support Beyond the School System
Our district aims to provide resources and education to help all understand where we can grow as a school community.
English for Speakers of Other Languages
The English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program provides English Language Learners (EL) with an opportunity to acquire proficiency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing English. The ESOL Program promotes a positive learning environment in which each student’s first language, culture, and ethnic heritage is valued. The ESOL teachers work with students whose first language is a language other than English and who qualify for ESOL services through a testing and referral process. There are specific strategies, methodologies, and curriculum used to help students acquire English.
