Children who register in our district and do not
speak English as their primary language are tested
by a certified English Language Learning instructor
to determine their level of English
proficiency. State criteria are used to
determine eligibility for assistance in language
acquisition. All services for middle school
students are provided in Park Middle School;
therefore, any student who falls below the cut-off
score determined by the state 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.
The E.L.L. teacher also serves as a resource person
for the entire staff and provides materials and
suggestions to classroom teachers who have
non-English speaking students in their
classes.
