La Promesa Elementary School Recognized For English Language Learners Program
La Promesa Elementary School was one of 27 schools in New Mexico to be recognized for their English Language Learners program that showed students making and attaining proficiency in English. Each school across 12 districts was awarded a $3,000 Title III bilingual education incentive award for their achievements in making Adequate Yearly Progress.
“We’re excited,” Vallejos said. “We’re very fortunate to have ELL certified teachers here.” Vallejos said more than 60 percent of the school’s families’ primary home language is something other than English, and they have four bilingual teachers who provide services to children in the classroom in kindergarten to third grade. She went on to say they also have several educational assistants who are bilingual, which is extremely helpful where instruction is concerned.
