Building success for all students
The EL program helps Emergent Bilinguals who need support to be able to access academic content.  The Newberg School District serves approximately 250 K-12 students in its English Learner (EL) program at nine schools. Bilingual students are exited from the program upon scoring proficient on the statewide ELPA21 assessment.  Student are monitored for 4 years upon exiting.

Success for All Students
The district’s goal is for Emergent Bilinguals to perform academically in English and the home language at the same level as their English-only peers. The district is committed to providing Emergent Bilinguals full access to the complete range of school-based programs and support services. It seeks to develop a strong and effective partnership with parents of Emergent Bilinguals and to provide the necessary support for staff to implement the policies and practices necessary for student success.
