Office of the Superintendent Becky J. Berg, Ed.D.

Dear Families, High school is both a challenging and exciting time. Students change so much from the time they enter as wide-eyed ninth graders, to when they graduate as eighteen year olds full of promise. This can also be a difficult time for parents. Knowing how much to lead and guide, and how much to empower our children is truly an art that I am not sure any of us perfect as much as we would like to! Planning is a key aspect of this stage of your child’s education. Our goal is that by the time they graduate from our district, they have many options open to them – instead of some options out of reach. That means that whatever their post-high school plan is, whether it be a four-year college, the military, community college or some kind of apprenticeship, that they have taken the appropriate coursework in high school to pursue their own personal path. High School Choice: The first aspect of this planning is helping your child choose a high school that is a ‘best fit’ for their interests. The Marysville School District currently offers seven high school choices designed around student interests and Snohomish County career trends. This model is currently under review, to study if we are achieving the student learning outcomes that we would like – for the hefty investment of taxpayer dollars. If the model is changed during your child’s time in high school, careful planning will occur in order to ensure a smooth transition and minimal impact on your son or daughter. If you have questions or concerns about this process, please call our Learning and Teaching offices at 360-965-0000. Course Selection: The next important aspect of this planning is to ensure that your child has a full schedule of courses that are a good fit for them, and that lead to on-time graduation. Please make sure that your child is taking the courses needed to qualify for education after high school. We know that in this current economy, those with just a high school degree and no after high school education or training will be fighting to find a family wage job. Instead, we want our students to thrive and to have choices. Therefore, please: • Review your child’s high school course selection plan, (blank plans available at every high school office or call 360-965-0000). • Learn about what your high school offers to help prepare students for college and/or career. • Learn about financial aid options for families for college. • Sign up for College Bound! If your child qualifies for free or reduced lunch, and graduates from high school with a 2.0 grade point average, they will qualify for help with their in-state tuition. This program has literally changed lives. If you qualify, please sign up at http://www.wsac.wa.gov/PreparingForCollege/CollegeBound. • Encourage your child to become involved as a volunteer. Colleges these days look for much more than a ‘book smart’ person. They need to be ‘people smart’ too. In closing, please be forgiving of yourself as a parent. These are exciting times. These may also be tumultuous times. As parents we do the best job we know how to do. None of us get it perfectly, but that is part of the journey. All of the best to each of you! Becky Berg Superintendent

“Making the decision to have a child - it is momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.” ― Elizabeth Stone

English Language Learners (ELL)-Sheltered Instruction This program is designed for English Language Learners. Sheltered instruction is an approach for teaching grade-level content to English learners in strategic ways that make the subject matter concepts comprehensible while promoting the students’ English Language development. In the sheltered English classroom, teachers use physical activities, visual aids, and the environment to teach important new words for concept development in mathematics, science, history, economics, and other subjects. Push in model: in this model the ELL staff member comes into the mainstream classroom and works with the content area teacher to provide extra language support to ELLs. Students work on content and language objectives within the same lesson. It also encompasses strategic introduction of content vocabulary, explicit literacy instruction, and the use of hands-on manipulative. English Language Learners remain in the mainstream classroom and receive ELL support services by our ELL staff members for 15 to 30 minutes per session. Students may work in small groups with the ELL staff member who functions as a resource instructor in the classroom or the ELL staff member may co-teach a lesson using instructional techniques to support English language learners. In small group activities, ELL students may engage in some of the same kinds of language study found in a pull-out class; however, the ELL staff member works in collaboration with the classroom teacher to tailor lessons to content study. Students who have gained a level of proficiency in English will still be challenged during content study for perhaps as long as 5-7 years. The ELL staff member may serve as a resource to help support students’ development of content vocabulary and concepts.
