Identification of ELL Students
The state of Michigan requires that students new to District complete a home language survey (HLS) in order to identify those students who may require ELL services.
If a language other than English is indicated on the HLS, an assessment is given within 30 days of the student's enrollment. The assessments, determines a student's eligibility for ELL services. If a student is eligible for ELL services, the student will be placed in the appropriate program.
