Based on enrollment information, your student is eligible for services that support classroom instruction and provide additional opportunities for your student’s academic growth and language proficiency. 

While the rate of English language development varies widely from student to student, many students exit the English Language program in 3-7 years. It can take 1-3 years for students to develop everyday English and 5-7 years to develop academic and content English. All English learners must have access to content/academic instruction, with modification and supports as necessary to ensure that the students will be successful academically and be prepared for grade promotion and graduation. Our goal is to provide inclusive services for all English learners.
