 Hayfield Elementary ESOL
Hayfield Elementary School has approximately 70 students who participate in the English For Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) program. There are 36 different languages spoken here. We have students who speak Amharic, Arabic, Bengali, Chinese, Creole, Farsi, French, Korean, Pashtu, Portuguese, Russian, Slovic, Spanish, Somalian, Tagalog, Tamil, Turkish, Twi, Urdu, and Vietnamese to name a few. While impressively diverse, we maintain the philosophy that "We All Smile in the Same Language!"
Classroom teachers, specialists, and ESOL teachers work collaboratively on academic, social and cultural issues essential to the students' progress. The ESOL teachers provide instruction in language arts and in the content areas. They serve as a resource on linguistic and cultural diversity issues for the staff.
Our ESOL program is based on pull-out and inclusion, depending on the level of the ESOL student and their individual needs.
