English Second LanguageWell over 200 Vimy Ridge students speak a language at home that is not English. Some students are new Canadians and others were born in Canada but speak another language at home.
Some students have been assessed using an English language assessment tool called STEP. STEP allows our school to monitor literacy development to support their learning needs. Some of our students in the early stages of STEP may also need classroom or group support by an ESL teacher. An ESL designation does not mean a student can not speak English. It does mean that teachers are able provide supports to promote student success. We hope to help your child be a highly successful reader and communicator. Please feel free to contact the school ESL Lead teacher! |
