To determine if a student would benefit from the Bilingual and/or English as a Second Language program, we utilize the Home Language Survey as part of the online enrollment. 

It asks two questions:

1. What language is used in the child's home most of the time?
2. What language does the child use most of the time?

If either of the responses indicate the use of a language other than English, then the school district must conduct a language assessment to determine how well a student communicates in English. The assessment information is then used to determine if the Bilingual or ESL program is appropriate for a student. 

If you have any questions about the purpose and the use of the Home Language Survey, please contact the Bilingual/ESL department.
