Message from the Superintendent June 2013 Dear NCLUSD Families; The mission of the Newman- Crows Landing Unified School District Dual Language Immersion program is to provide a rigorous educational opportunity of choice where students will be linguistically and academically successful. Students will value diversity, attain a global perspective and develop a community spirit supported by District staff, parents and the community. The NCLUSD’s next generation of students will be successful bilingual/bi-literate students. The NCLUSD believes it is critical for all English Learners to have equal access to the core instructional program and to acquire academic English language proficiency. The District supports this belief and extends this opportunity for our students to grow to their maximum potential through our continued review of the District’s adopted Master Plan for English Learners. This plan is a guide to assist all schools in providing every identified English Learner with an effective and high quality instructional program that includes daily English language development, access to the core curriculum, and promotion of multicultural proficiency. The Master Plan for English Learners demonstrates a collaborative effort among all schools and our teachers to effectively serve these students. It also demonstrates our commitment to collaborate with all members of our District’s community, parents, students and staff to meet and exceed the needs of our English Learners and their families. The NCLUSD is committed to providing a quality education for all students enrolled in the district. As we continually strive to improve the curriculum and educational opportunities offered district wide, we will also be resolved to continue to refine and improve the curriculum and opportunities offered to our English Language Learners.
