Program
Description
The ELL Program, a Federal program, currently serves
over 1,200 students at 10 elementary magnet sites, 6
junior highs and 4 high schools. Assessment and consultation
is also provided to all schools in the District. The
program offers intensive English language instruction
to students who speak a native language other than English.
Elementary Program (Grades K-6)
1st through 6th grade English
language learners are enrolled in one of 10 magnet sites-
Franklin, Horizon, Jackson, Jefferson, Koelsch, Lowell,
Whitney, White Pine, Whittier or Mt. View. Students participate
in integrated instruction provided by highly qualified
certified and classified staff. Kindergarten students
are enrolled in their neighborhood schools unless they
have older siblings attending an ELL school..
Secondary Program (Grades 7-12)
The ELL Program at the secondary level consists of several
formats. Students living in the United States two years
or less may enroll at the ELL Language Academy located
at Riverglen Jr. High. This school provides intensive
language instruction through content courses and allows
students to transition into their new surroundings and
home school more effectively. Other secondary students
are supported at their home schools through sheltered
content classes and/or ELL study skills classes. These
classes provide access to the district curriculum through
specialized instructional strategies.
