Your Student has been placed in the English Language Learner (ELL) program for 1 or more of the following reasons: He or she has:

The Snake River District ELL staff works to bring all students to grade level in English reading, writing, speaking, and listening through instructional strategies that best meet the needs of ELL students. These strategies come from a research- based framework called “sheltered” instruction. Sheltered instruction allows students to learn content and language at the same time using English to deliver carefully planned lessons. Focusing on both content and language allows students to work toward grade- level academic standards while gaining English proficiency. This is the Snake River School District’s model of instruction for English language learners.
In our school, English Language Learner services are designed to promote extra help for the student while in the classroom and/or in small group instruction outside the regular classroom. The goal of our project is to assist students in the development of their basic skills so they can become successful learners.
Students are exited from the program when they reach language and academic proficiency. The time it takes to reach full proficiency depends on multiple factors and students typically graduate on time with their peers.
It is important that you notify me as soon as possible if you do not wish your child to participate in this program.
