English Learners

Welcome to CUSD! We view bilingualism and multilingualism as valuable cognitive and cultural assets, and we are dedicated to partnering with you to ensure your student excels academically, socially, and culturally. Our English Learner program is designed around a core purpose: to help students develop fluency in English across listening, speaking, reading, and writing, while maintaining full, equal access to all grade-level curriculum. Learning happens through both Integrated ELD, which delivers support directly within regular classrooms across all subjects, and Designated ELD, which offers targeted daily instruction tailored specifically to your child's language proficiency level.

As parents, you play an essential role in this journey. You maintain complete rights and choice regarding your child's education, including the ability to request detailed program information, participate in district accountability planning, or opt out of specific services. We also strongly encourage you to join the District English Language Advisory Committee (DELAC), where parents of English Learners gather to advise our schools on program services and shape language education across the district—keep an eye out for annual meeting invitations delivered directly to your email.
