    Bilingual New Arrivals is a program option for students in grades one through twelve who have been in the U.S. for one year or less come from a Spanish language background and are identified as a Student with Limited or Interrupted Formal Education (SLIFE). Students attend the program from a minimum of ten weeks to a maximum of one year with the possibility to apply for a 10 month extension. Using TESOL methodologies and taught in English the program provides students with an intensive English language course of study in addition to following the contentarea curriculum with support provided in Spanish. Spanish literacy skills are also taught in the program.

    Bilingual New Arrivals teachers work with students in a multigrade environment developing Basic Interpersonal Communication Skills (BICS) in English while developing content appropriate vocabulary using Spanish as a resource. The program is specifically designed to support Spanish speaking students who have gaps in their formal education and are two 2 or more years behind academically.

    Educational programs for ELs are regulated by the Every Student Succeeds Act Title I and Title III. The Bilingual New Arrivals teacher is a part of the SPS EL Department and receives supervision from building administration and technical assistance from the Coordinator of English Learners (EL).
