English Learners (EL)
The Vision:
The Seaford School District will advance all students linguistically and culturally, beginning at the earliest ages, to participate in a global community through effective communication, acceptance of new ideas, and by developing an international perspective.
All students, with home and school support, will attain high levels of proficiency in multiple languages while maintaining their native language.
Through their communication and actions, every staff member and student will demonstrate equal value of all languages and cultures.
