 Welcome back to school!  We look forward to having a great 2008-2009 school year! ESL is an additional school service provided to enable your children to succeed in the grade-level classroom.  We will work with classroom teachers to help the children develop English language skills, cultural awareness and learning strategies which they will need to work successfully with the school curriculum.  ESL support is a pull-out program.  Your child will be in a small group for specialized language instruction.  The focus of the instruction will be based on speaking, listening, reading, and writing in English. 

            Here are a list of web-sites that may be useful for you and your ESL student:
