Schools Offering an English Language Development Program (referred as ENL)

Where is the ENL Program Offered?
The ENL (English as a New Language) program is available at:

  • 10 elementary schools
  • 3 middle schools
  • 2 high schools

Students who are English learners at these schools will take part in both their regular classes and also receive special English language development instruction from a certified ENL teacher. The amount of ENL instruction each student receives depends on their English level and individual academic needs.

 

Working Together to Support Your Child
ENL teachers work closely with classroom teachers to make sure every English learner gets the right support. This includes accommodations (classroom supports) and modifications (changes to lessons) so students can succeed in all subjects.

 

What If My School Doesn’t Have an ENL Program?
If your child is in elementary school and their school does not offer ENL services, they may attend another elementary school that is close to their school to receive the support they need. In these cases, transportation will be provided to ensure your child can get to school safely.

Support Services

Cafeteria Service: Every MCCSC school has a cafeteria for students. Students do not need to use cash at the cafeteria. Each student has an account for food service. Parents deposit money into the account and students pay with a personal identification code number (lunch code) for the food they order in the cafeteria. Find out more about food services.

 

Lunch/Textbook Assistance: Your children may be approved for free or reduced lunch and book charges. Applications are available from your school or from Food Services for the federally funded assistance program. You will need to provide information about your family income to be eligible. You can find the application for free and reduced lunch on this page.

 

Extended Day Care: The MCCSC Extended Day program provides before and after school programs. For more information about these programs, please visit the Early Learning school website.

 

Transportation Information: Transportation for public school students is provided by MCCSC when walking distances exceed 1.5 miles for secondary students and 1 mile for elementary students. Transportation is also provided for students who need to attend a magnet school for special services such as ENL, high ability programs, or special needs. Transportation requests must be made by the school. For more information regarding transportation, visit the Transportation website.
