The mission of the Department of English Learners Services is to provide schools with quality instructional support, guidance, and direction to improve instruction for English Learners and ensure their academic success.  This entails the implementation of proven, research-based instructional strategies that are utilized in conjunction with district adopted resources to meet the academic needs of English Learners based on individually assessed needs.  In addition to guiding academic instruction, English Learner Services supports the productive engagement and involvement of parents of English Learners as critical partners in the success of our students.  This support includes the establishment of functioning English Learner Advisory Committees (ELAC) and the creation of a welcoming environment for English Learners and their families.
