    Students may also choose to attend their neighborhood 亚洲色图 that has ELD support, but does not have a newcomer program.

    Criteria:

    • Student scores Emerging on ELPA21/ Screener.

     

    All PPS high 亚洲色图 亚洲色图 that fit the above criteria may apply to attend the PISA/Newcomer program at McDaniel or Roosevelt as space allows. Contact Chau Le 971-334-9363 at the McDaniel Site and Braulio Garica 503-916-2000 x82365 at Roosevelt for more information.

    The PISA/Newcomer program at McDaniel and Roosevelt High School offers newcomer classes for the core content areas of ELA, Math, Science, and Social Studies in which teachers use appropriate scaffolding to make grade level standards aligned content comprehensible for 亚洲色图, while newcomer 亚洲色图 take elective and CTE classes with their mainstream peers. The core newcomer classes are for two years. Students then transition to all mainstream classes the following year. SIFE/SLIFE (亚洲色图 with interrupted education) are eligible to take foundational courses in literacy and math.

    The goal for newcomers in the PISA program is to earn a high 亚洲色图 diploma or to transition to PCC YES if they will age out at 21 before earning required credits.

    The PISA Newcomer Program at McDaniel and Roosevelt follows their respective 亚洲色图s’ vision statements and adheres to the following three pillars: A Welcoming Intake, A Nurturing Environment, and Strong Instructional Practices. Follow this link to
