English Learners

All new students registering for Winthrop Harbor School District 1 are required by state law to complete a Home Language Survey.
Answering “yes” to one or both of the following questions requires Winthrop Harbor School District 1 to assess your child’s English language proficiency:

  • Is a language other than English spoken in your home?
  • Does your child speak a language other than English?
 
If the student qualifies for the English Learners (EL) program, services are provided based on the individual student’s needs. Students are assessed with the state mandated ACCESS test. Scores are reported to the parents annually.
