English Learner (EL)

Scheduling Guidance

• The ESOL case manager and counselor should work collaboratively to determine an EL student’s area(s) of greatest need. Then together with the family and student the appropriate elective credit EL support course(s) and the corresponding credit-bearing course can be selected based on the area of greatest need. Students should not be coenrolled in more than two of these EL support courses at one time.
• EL students should only take these EL support courses once within their high school years.
• While EL students have additional time to graduate, they should be scheduled with the goal of completing high school within four years as stated in the Division's Strategic Plan.
• EL students may continue to be educated until they turn 22 years of age. If they turn 22 during the school year, they may complete that school year.
• Parents must be informed of the graduation requirements and the goal for EL students to stay in their cohort.
• Additional supports should be provided to help ensure academic success in all courses.
