Big Changes Coming to Dual Language
From the SLE Department: "The SLE Department is proud to announce that beginning Fall 2019 the Early Exit Bilingual Model will phase-out. On March 19th the Board of Trustees unanimously approved the implementation of One Way Dual Language as the District Bilingual Program Model for all Bilingual students!
A conservative phase-in plan was approved beginning with PK and Kindergarten only for next year. An additional grade level will come on board each year thereafter. This allows us the opportunity to train teachers and leaders on program expectations focused on one grade level each summer.
The SLE Dept. is currently conducting a 2 hour informational session with each of the 18 Bilingual elementary campuses per the schedule attached. The audience includes Principals, APs, Specialists, Interventionists.
Activity Accounts
