    Enrollment Information


    The following three home language survey questions have been approved by the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights (OCR) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) in their compliance work under Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act and the Equal Educational Opportunities Act of 1974. Asking these three questions, and then testing a student whose parent or guardian responded to one or more of these three questions with a language other than English, is considered minimally compliant under the law.
     
    1) What is the primary language used in the home, regardless of the language spoken by the student?
    2) What is the language most often spoken by the student?
    3) What is the language that the student first acquired?
     
    During the enrollment process English Learners (EL's) will take an English language assessment in the areas of Reading, Writing, Listening, Speaking and Comprehension to determine programmatic eligibility and meet student needs.
