Today’s language-minority students will dramatically impact the future of our nation.

All limited-English-proficient (LEP) students must acquire the English skills necessary for academic success and ultimately for success in a global, multicultural, and multilingual society.

To facilitate the success of language–minority students in Cypress-Fairbanks ISD., the following goals have been established for our bilingual and ESL students.

Goal 1:      To enable LEP students to become competent in speaking, reading, writing, and comprehending the English language

Goal 2:      To provide the instructional support needed for LEP students to master the English language and to participate effectively in the general education program as quickly as possible --- [Transitional Early-Exit Model]

Goal 3:      To promote acceptance of Bilingual and ESL instruction as an integral part of the entire academic program

Goal 4:      To set high expectations for all language-minority students

Goal 5:      To place value on the native language and culture of all students
