ESL Service Information

ESL Services: 
ESL services and teachers are new to APPS and have changed dramatically over the past few years. Students cannot be “referred” to ESL.
Students may qualify for screening one of two ways: families must answer “yes” to the home language survey completed upon registration, or they may have already qualified as ESL at a previous school and this would transfer to APPS. The Home Language Survey is our legal document signifying that students must be screened. Once they are screened, depending on their proficiency scores, they may qualify for ESL.
Based on our model of servicing students this year, only our lowest proficient students will be serviced at the elementary level with either a push-in/co-teaching model or a pull-out small group model. There may be ESL students who are considered consult only, which means their proficiency level is on the higher-end and they don’t require as much support. These students may be met with only a handful of times.
Finally, if families request to opt-out of receiving servicing the student will still be required to take the WIDA, but will not receive any services.

We are excited to announce the return of the Playworks company to continue implementing their organized recess play program for all of our new lunch parapros.  Playworks reps worked with our parapros for four days that included lots of games and strategies to use on the playground, as well some of our teachers and their students also were treated to some lessons! We are up and running and ready to make recess even more fun!

Halloween Parade

Time to get those costumes on the kids and come on down to Arno on Oct. 31 at 10:00 for our annual Halloween Parade.  Our route will take us out of the 5th grade doors that morning, making a loop on the inside perimeter of the playground.  Please join us around the outside perimeter of the playground for the best seats.  It is a district PD day with an 11:30 dismissal that morning.
