During this session our presenting team will share some key strategies that Shoreline Public Schools is implementing in order to improve ELL drop out rates as well as engage and welcome its multilingual families. Thanks to combined efforts of Office Managers, a newly created ELL intake process at the high schools and more multilingual family advocacy, we are seeing positive changes in our district. We'd love to have you join us to hear our ideas and share yours as well!
