The district ensures that students with limited English language proficiency, English Learners, fully access the general education curriculum. English Learners participate in the regular classroom where teachers adapt instruction, materials and assessments to make grade level content comprehensible. In addition, EL teachers promote English language development in a one on one or small group setting. The district provides bilingual translators or interpreters, when needed, to facilitate communication between EL families and the school.
