Any child entering school who is not a native
language speaker of English will be tested to
determine his/her level of English proficiency.
State criteria are used to determine eligibility
for assistance. If a student is in need of an
English Language Learning class, these services are
provided in Park Middle School for grades 5-8;
therefore, any student who falls below the cut-off
score is automatically transferred to Park for
his/her total instructional program. Direct
instruction in English is provided by a certified
English Language Learning teacher for a minimum of
40 minutes per student per day. It is the
responsibility of the E.L.L. teacher to serve as a
resource person for the entire staff and to provide
materials and strategies to classroom teachers who
have non-English speaking students in their
classes.
