Welcome to the Bilingual/English As A New Language and World Languages Programs
Mission:
The mission of the Central Islip Public Schools, as well as, the Bilingual/ENL/WL Department is to enable all students to fulfill their potentials and become responsible contributing adults able to thrive in a culturally diverse, changing world. In partnership with the entire community, we will provide a quality, educational experience that offers equitable learning opportunities in a safe environment. We will link home, school, and community to ensure a positive, supportive education that fosters student excellence and success in our globally society.
Vision:
The vision at our Bilingual/ENL/WL Department is to prepare our English Language Learner (ELL) and/or Multilingual Language Learner (MLL) students using an equitable education instruction which is aligned to the NYS Common Core Learning Standards. In addition, our vision includes graduating students who are prepared for college career and life. We also recognize that all stakeholders (students, parents, educators, community members, etc.) share the responsibility of ensuring that English learners understand, speak, read, and write English fluently to succeed linguistically, cognitively, academically and socially in their classrooms, schools and community at large.
