Letter to the Editor,

Toledo Public Schools takes the responsibility of educating students whose native or home language is a language other than English to achieve proficiency in the English Language very seriously. 

Just to clarify the terms, English Language Learner (ELL or LEP) is a student who is working to achieve proficiency in English.  English as a Second Language (ESL) is a program to help ELL students achieve proficiency in English.  The ESL Program is taught by teachers who have completed extra study and have a special license to assist ELL students in gaining proficiency in the English Language.

We would like to meet with the ELL Community, the parents/guardians of our ELL students.  At this community meeting, you can ask questions about ESL and the services, meet with ESL teachers, see how ESL teachers help students in ESL classes, and learn how to help your child succeed in school.

We look forward to meeting with you:

ELL Community Meeting

Wednesday, April 24, 2013, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m.

Walbridge Elementary School

1245 Walbridge Ave.

Toledo, Ohio

If you have any questions, please call the Office of ESL at 419-671-8216.

Sincerely,

Gayle J. Schaber

Director

Toledo Public Schools Office of ESL
