English as a Second Language
The Warren County School District provides an appropriate language instruction educational programs (LIEPs) to students who native or first language is not English. The goal of language instruction educational programs is to facilitate the development and attainment of English proficiency and academic achievement of English Language Learner (ELL) students.
The school’s primary responsibility is to identify all students who qualify for EL services and to ensure they can meaningfully participate in the academic and special programs offered. Identification of ESL students is achieved through either a: (1) school referral process or (2) the Home Language Survey which is in the district’s registration packet.Save
