English Language
!Nuestros estudiantes de la lengua Inglesa representan el mundo! Ang pag-aaral ng ating wikang Ingles ang kumaktawan sa mundo!
Our goal is for English learners is to develop fluency in English and proficiency in the district’s core curriculum as rapidly and as effectively as possible.

The program is defined as English Language Development (ELD also referred to as ESL) and each English Language Learner (ELL) will achieve English oral language skills appropriate to his/her age and level of ability; they will achieve English reading, comprehension, and writing skills commensurate to those other students of similar age and ability. The defined program is based on The California ELD Standards until students are redesignated as Fluent English Proficient.

PSD English Learner population is approximately 6% of total students enrolled in the district. Approximately 20 different languages are spoken by ELL students; Spanish and Tagalog are the predominant languages spoken other than English.

At the district level the District English Language Advisory Committee meets several times a year to assist with English Learner Programs and Services. All parents are invited to attend meetings and participate on the committee.
