English Learners

It is the mission of the San Bruno Park School District to implement the following goals:

To develop English language proficiency and academic achievement
To give English language learners access to the District’s core curriculum
To promote cross cultural understanding
To engage the English Language (EL) families

The District takes proactive steps to ensure that there is regular consultation between site principals and the existing English Learner Advisory Committees (ELACs) and the District English Learner Advisory Committee (DELAC).

Each school’s compliance with the provisions of the Master Plan is assessed on the following dimensions:

Student identification and assessment procedures
Redesignation and post-designation procedures
Establishment and functioning of meaningful vehicles for parent involvement and feedback
Effectiveness of instructional programming
Professional development of teachers and staff
Appropriateness of and total expenditures on programs and services for English Language students

All English learners are enrolled in Structured English Immersion or English Language Mainstream classrooms with CLAD-certified teachers. Students in grades K-8 receive assistance on a daily basis from their classroom teacher.

The English Language Proficiency Assessment for California (ELPAC) is used to determine the English Language Proficiency of students whose primary language is not English. Students in Kindergarten through 8th grade are assessed in Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing.
