Welcome Back!
We had a fantastic collaboration to kick off the second half of the school year! Thank you to those who were able to join and interact with fellow EL Leaders!
We talked about a variety of topics in the meeting due to mid year enrollment which included revisiting beginning of year processes of identification and notification of ELs along with Smore Translations and Steps to Proficiency.
Check out some of the highlights from our 1/19/24 meeting in the newsletter below as well as the full slide deck in the presentation materials area of One Note for more info.
