• 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 three questions:

    1. Which languages are used at home?

    2. Which languages are used by the child at home?

    3. If the child had a previous home setting, which languages were used? If there was no previous home setting, answer Not Applicable (N/A).

     

    If any 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.
