Spanish Immersion Elementary Program

Spanish immersion classrooms are self-contained and the targeted class size is 26 students. Program entry level is Kindergarten and entrance is determined by lottery. A waitlist is maintained. Should attrition occur, these lists provide the names of families who will be contacted regarding possible enrollment in the class.

Families new to the district, or those currently enrolled who have students with Spanish literacy skills, may contact the district at any time and request placement on a grade-level waitlist.

Program Goals:

• Students will develop literacy skills in Spanish
• Students will acquire Spanish communication skills as well as strong structural language skills that enable understanding of new concepts and vocabulary
• Students will develop strong receptive and expressive Spanish language skills
• Students will develop a positive bi-cultural disposition
