Our English Learner Department includes 5 dedicated and experienced teachers. EL teachers work closely with classroom teachers in grade K through 8 to provide engaging lessons that all students can understand. In the elementary grades EL teachers work with students in small groups and provide opportunities to improve reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. Middle school EL teachers co-teach with our Language Arts teachers and also teach stand-alone Academic Language Development classes to prepare students for rigorous high school level work.
Our department is proud of our high EL Exit rate: last year 27 students exited from EL services. Go Eagles!
