English Language Learners

The Parma City School District’s EL program seeks to meet the diversified educational and cultural needs of students who are learning English. The purpose of the EL program is to provide instruction to support English language acquisition for EL students. Students enrolled in the EL Program come from a variety of cultural, linguistic, socio-economic and academic backgrounds. EL teachers work with students in small-group settings as well as in the classroom, depending on students’ needs. Additionally, EL teachers collaborate with regular classroom teachers and other staff members regarding the educational needs of students.
