The EL Department is responsible for identifying and supporting Kindergarten - 12th grade students who speak a home language other than English and who are not yet proficient in English. 

Students are identified by the central office EL Department staff as English Learners using a standardized, statewide process.  If students are identified as English Learners, or not yet proficient in English, families are offered several options of EL Programs to develop their English language acquisition.
