Conditions for Placement in the Dual Immersion Program
1. This application does not guarantee enrollment in the program. Students will be selected by lottery for the program as indicated on the Discovery Elementary Website.
2. If the child is selected to attend the dual immersion program, it is the responsibility of the parents to provide transportation for the student to and from the school unless the child lives within the school boundaries and is deemed eligible to ride the bus.
3. Research indicates an immersion program is most effective when students remain in the program for a sustained period of time. The student will be expected to continue with the program through 5th grade unless a team decision is made involving the parent, school staff, and district specialists that it is in the best interest of the student to have a different placement.
4. Participation in a dual language immersion program is considered to be a comprehensive educational experience. Beginning in the first grade, paired English and target language teachers collaborate to support student mastery of both the core content standards and target language skills in a full-day program. It is our expectation that students who participate in the language immersion experience participate fully in the school academic day.
