90/10 Dual Language Program

Language Allocation Plan

In the 90/10 dual language immersion model, the target language (Spanish) is used in UTK, Kindergarten, and first grade for 90% of the instructional time and English is used for 10%. 

At each grade level, the amount of instruction in English rises by 10% and is considered sequential literacy model, as literacy in the target language is developed before moving on to formally developing literacy in English. 

Incoming students in UTK and Kindergarten grade will automatically be enrolled in the program. 

We are very excited to continue this program, producing biliterate, 21st century, global citizens!

 NEW STUDENT AND UTK/K ORIENTATION

An orientation for new families and TK/K families will be held on the Friday before school begins. Meet the principal and staff.

CLASS ROSTERS/TEACHER ASSIGNMENTS

Rosters will be posted on Thursday at 5:00 p.m. before the first day of the school year on the office window. Parents will also receive an email from their classroom teacher with an invitation to their ClassDojo.  Parents are welcome to come by to view their child's classroom assignment over the weekend. Rosters will be posted around the campus on the first day of school.

CONTINUING STUDENTS

Students returning to Juarez do not need to pre-register. Information packets will go home the first week of school with pre-printed enrollment cards with information from last school year. If there are any changes (phone, address, email, etc.), parents will be asked to make those changes on the cards and return them to the school.

BACK TO SCHOOL SUPPLIES/WISH LIST

All essential instructional materials are provided by the school, but with budget cuts over the last several years, we at Juarez have become very creative and conservative with general school supplies. We are fortunate to be recipients of donations from parents and local businesses. Below you will find a list of items that will make your child's first days at school more comfortable. Additionally, you will find our school "wish list" of general and specialty supplies that would be most appreciated! Lastly, we always appreciate donations of gently used children's clothing and shoes for emergency use, especially under garments and shorts or pants. Thank you for your support!
