Children who register in our district and do not
speak English as their primary language are tested
by a certified E.S.L. 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 as a Second Language teacher
for a minimum of 40 minutes per student per day.
The E.S.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.
