English As A Second Language

The English as a Second Language program in the elementary school is available to meet the language needs of students whose first language is not English and whose lack of fluency in English prevents them from being fully integrated into the regular school program. The program includes instruction to improve both written and oral language fluency and is focused on the Language Arts. Additional instruction in the content areas and math is available if required. The aim of the program is to provide the bilingual child sources of language instruction, which will help him/her, function in the mainstream of the elementary school.
