What this document actually says
This presentation provides an update on the district's English Language Learner (ELL) program for 2024-25. The district serves 32 ELL students (3% of total enrollment) across three schools, representing 14 different home languages including Portuguese, Spanish, Arabic, and Mandarin. Students receive both integrated ELD (throughout the day in regular classes) and designated ELD (dedicated time for language development). The district uses ELPAC assessments to identify students and measure progress. In 2023-24, 4 students (12%) were reclassified as fluent English proficient. The program uses various curriculum materials including Lexia English, Kids A-Z ELL, and language-specific tools. Five students are already in progress for reclassification in 2024-25.
What this means for your family
If your child is learning English, they receive specialized support both during regular classes and dedicated language instruction time. The district monitors progress through state assessments and can reclassify students to fluent status when they meet four criteria including test scores and teacher evaluation. Families are consulted before reclassification. Multiple digital learning tools and materials support language development across all three schools.
