Our priority is to ensure that students in the Dual Language Program learn both English and Spanish at high academic levels. We track language learning progress in three ways: 

 

Language Component	Assessment Used	Frequency	Interventions if targets are not met
Speaking	IPT Oral in Spanish & English	2x a year August & May	Rosetta Stone Language Lab & Intentional and Additional Speaking Opportunities
Reading	DRA Running Record in Spanish & English	2x a year in non-native language and a minimum of 3x a year in native language	We have several intervention programs for students who are not Reading on Grade Level in both Spanish and English
Academic Content	District Common Assessments in Language of Instruction	Every 4 weeks	We offer tutoring during the school day for students who are not meeting content grade level expectations

 

During parent-teacher conferences, our teacher communicates to parents what the target scores are and where each child is performing in relation to those targets.  If you have not been able to attend one of our academic parent teacher meetings, please schedule an appointment to meet with your child's teacher in order to review this information.
