The Peters Township School District developed a formal
English as a Second Language (ESL) and Limited English Proficiency (LEP)
policy in September 2002. Provisions for ESL / LEP are also made in the
District's Strategic Plan.
Quality Educational Services
The goal of the District's ESL / LEP program is in
accordance with the Board of School Director's philosophy to provide
quality educational services to all students. To accomplish this goal,
the district's objectives are to provide appropriately planned
instructional services for identified students whose dominant language
is not English. To assist these students in attaining academic success,
the ESL / LEP services assist students in increasing their English
language proficiency.
English Proficiency
The ESL teacher works closely with the Administrative staff
and classroom teachers to assist ESL / LEP students in increasing their
English proficiency. All students are integrated with their peers
except when it is necessary to pull them out of class to provide
specific services. All English Language Learner students are welcomed
and encouraged to be involved in extra-curricular and other related
programs.
