Multilingual Learner
We value the assets that our learners, their families, and the community contribute to the school culture while providing equitable access to rigorous standards where all educators support language and literacy development.
Christina School District provides support to our multilingual learners (MLL) at each of our elementary, middle, and high schools. Our dedicated staff of English as a Second Language (ESL) teachers and paraprofessionals work collaboratively with Christina educators to support language acquisition throughout the day.
