Programs to help all students succeed
State and Federal Programs Supplemental Programs provide kindergarten students with opportunities to receive additional support in acquiring the knowledge and skills they will need to achieve proficiency at grade level .
The goal of the State and Federal Programs teachers and paraprofessionals working with identified students is to increase student academic success by providing additional reading and / or math instruction and activities that support district curriculum . Students receive this academic assistance during the normal school day , either in the regular classroom or in a special area .
Parents are often concerned when a teacher has suggested their child is in need of additional academic support in kindergarten . Research has proven that additional support received early in a child ’ s school experience can give children the boost they may need to increase learning and build self-esteem and joy in the knowledge that they are successful learners .
For more information on State and Federal Programs , talk with your principal .
English Language program ( EL ) Programs to help students learn English and experience greater success in school are available at most schools in the district . A student may be eligible to participate if he or she first learned a language other than or in addition to English , or if a language other than or in addition to English is spoken in the home .
The Family Welcome Center assesses and identifies the language level and academic needs of each English learner .
For more information on EL programs , call the Family Welcome Center at 763-433-4680 . If a language other than English is spoken in the home , please call the Family Welcome Center to complete your child ’ s registration process . Interpreters will be provided if needed .
