English Learners

Marysville Schools is experiencing a growing number of ELs (English Learners) who come to us from across the United States and from various places around the globe.  We currently have over 180 EL students in grades K-12 who speak various languages.  We are committed to welcoming and helping ELs and their families transition to our schools while valuing the cultural knowledge they bring to us. 

EL students are immersed in our schools in all general classrooms and are supported according to their level of proficiency and academic need by the classroom teacher.  

Our team of EL teachers provide additional instructional services to EL students to accelerate their English language development in the 4 domains of reading, writing, listening and speaking through direct instruction.  

To help support our EL families, we utilize Propio, which is an interpreting service.  Propio is a wonderful way to open up the lines of communication between the schools and families so we can work together in order to support our EL students.
