Dual Language Immersion Family Resources
Dual Language Immersion Families
We know that our best resource for building a positive educational experience for all students is by partnering with our families.
We encourage you to celebrate your child's emerging bilingualism and to remind your child to be patient with the language acquisition process. Remind your child that it takes 7-10 years to become fluent in another language and the best way to learn is to watch their teacher for content and language support, to pay attention in class, and to complete any homework that may be assigned.
