English as a New Language

The South Orangetown Central School District is dedicated to serving English Language Learners (ELLs) in specialized programs that best suit their individual language needs.

 

Through a combination of pull-out and push-in ELL classes and core content classes geared towards English Language Learners, we provide students with solid instruction that fosters both academic content and language development.

 

Our students and their families deserve equal access to all instructional programs and we strive to offer supports and quality communication between school and home. It is our mission to support ELLs and their families in all areas and to strengthen the home-school connection in order to achieve our district goal of graduation and college readiness for all students.
