Information for EnglishEnglish Language Learners
This page is to help our families understand the information needed for our second grade English Language students to succeed in their academic studies. At St. John's Elementary we are offering parents English as a Second Language (ESL) classes or a family literacy program, in the school building, which we feel can play an important role in promoting increased parent-school collaboration. These adult ESL classes could facilitate increased parental presence in the school and increased relationship with teachers and school staff. These classes could also increase parent-teacher collaboration by supporting such things as parental ability to: (a) ensure the completion of homework, (b) better understand the written communication between the school and the home, and (c) better understand how to support literacy development. We all hope that our families take part in this great opportunity!
