English Language Development (ELD) Program

Our district provides ELD services using a pull-out model for all schools within our district. Schedules vary by student need and grade level. Typically:

• Middle and High School Services: Scheduled into an ELD Class which counts as an elective credit on their transcript.
• Elementary School Services: 30 minutes of pull-out daily with an ESOL endorsed teacher.

ELPA21(English Language Proficiency Assessment for the 21st Century)

ALL current EL students take the ELPA21 state assessment, regardless of receiving services through the program. This assessment measures your students’ English language proficiency and growth annually. All identified English Learners take this assessment throughout the state of Oregon.

Once your student reaches language proficiency, primarily determined through ELPA21, they will be exited from the program and will be monitored for 4 years to ensure that language is not a barrier to their education.

For more information please refer to our local EL Plan in the Parent Resources links below.

Translation and Interpretation

Brookings-Harbor strives to ensure that all culturally and linguistically diverse families feel welcome and fully participate in their students’ educational experience. With this philosophy, we provide written translation and interpretation services through our Title III program.

If you would like translation and interpretation services please indicate so in your students’ enrollment information during registration. Most of the information we gather about student and family need come from this registration and our PowerSchool information system. Otherwise, contact a school secretary or the Title III Coordinator.
