The district ensures that students with limited English language proficiency, English Language Learners, fully access the general education curriculum. English Language Learners participate in the regular classroom where teachers adapt instruction, materials and assessments to make grade level content comprehensible. In addition, ELL 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 ELL families and the school.
