Our incredible English language learners get to participate in some truly wonderful, engaging virtual lessons each week. Let’s take a tour by grade level of our weekly ELD offerings, all of which provide lessons for English language development, test-taking skills, and rigorous language arts support!

First and second grade English language learners can participate in test prep skills and strategies in Ms. Stephanie’s class on Tuesdays and Ms. Yolanda’s class on Thursdays.
