The ELL program provides instruction to meet the needs of K-12 students whose primary language is not English. Students qualify for the program shortly after enrollment by scoring at a level 1, 2, or 3 on the Washington Language Proficiency Placement Test II. Students take this test if a parent or guardian indicates on the Home Language Survey that the student’s first language was not English.
Students exit from the program when they score at a level 4 on the annual Washington Language Proficiency Test II. Depending on needs and assessment, some students may participate in ELL classes, while others may receive in-class or pull-out assistance.
Both certificated and classified staff assist ELL students. The ELL program supplements regular classroom teaching. Parent involvement is an important part of our program; your input is
welcome and your participation is encouraged. When feasible, we try to communicate with parents in a language they understand.
