Our dual-language campus leaders are working tirelessly and creatively to find ways to continue to support our English proficient students who have chosen to participate in at-home learning. Given that the number of students choosing at-home is not equal in every campus, this support may look differently at your particular school or grade level. We appreciate your patience and flexibility as we continue to navigate through uncharted waters.If you do not hear from your dual language campus or teachers, feel free to contact your campus principal for assistance.Estimados padres de familia del programa de doble inmersión:
