English Language Learner Program (ELL)
Contact Student Services for ELL Information at (253) 530-1080
Students and families whose first language is not English are
supported and provided services through the District's English
Language Learner Program (ELL) program. All qualified students
are served at their neighborhood school through a combination
model of instruction and consultation. Students participating in
the ELL program are expected and supported to achieve the
Washington State performance standards.
The initial screening process for determining ELL eligibility
includes evaluation using the Washington Language Proficiency
Placement Test-II (WLPT-II). The WLPT-II test evaluates the reading
and writing English proficiency of each ELL student.
In addition, all currently-enrolled ELL students will be tested
using the Washington Language Proficiency Test-II during the
spring of each school year.
