ESL stands for English as a Second Language. Newcomer students are new to the American school system and the English language.
Our school is proud to be the home of the ESL Welcome Center! In the newcomer classroom, students are provided with a safe learning environment where they can take risks in learning social and academic English.
The goal of the program is for students to learn basic language skills that will allow them to actively participate and succeed in the traditional classroom. In the beginning of the school year, students spend several hours of their day in the Welcome Center, and the rest of the day in their regular classroom. As their English language skills progress, students gradually transition to spending their full school day in the regular classroom.
Watch as our frogs leap ahead!
