Welcome to the Bilingual Education & English as a New Language Department

 

Our District is a diverse community, a microcosm of unique cultures and languages. All are welcomed and embraced.

With knowledge, respect and understanding of our differences, we are uniquely positioned to celebrate multilingualism.  By viewing home languages and lived experiences as assets, we support our ELLs/MLLs in a culturally responsive sustaining way, allowing the richness of language and customs to shape how we encourage their growth in language, literacy and learning.

The Bilingual Education & ENL Department works collaboratively to prepare our students to become engaged citizens of the world.

With Equity, Innovation & Optimism
