Welcome to the 2012-2013 school year :)

I am very excited to begin this school year and work will all of our wonderful ELL students again. I have a few updates to share:

- We have two additional part time ELL teachers coming from other schools to assist our ever-growing English language learner population. Mrs. Krishnan will be coming over part time from Kendall Elementary and Mrs. Howard will be coming from Scullen Middle School in the afternoons.

- Mrs. Karra will be working this year with our Telugu students in various classrooms.

We are in the midst of organizing the number of students in the ELL program and working out our schedule for each grade level to begin seeing our students. Paperwork for all ELL students was sent home on Friday September 7. Feel free to contact me with any questions that you have in regards to the program.

We will be having our ELL parent night on Thursday 9/13 from 6:00 to 6:30 before curriculum night in Room 107. We hope that you can attend a brief informational meeting to receive a description of the program, meet the ELL teachers, see the classroom and ask any questions that you may have!

We look forward to meeting all of you and working with your children this year!
