ESOL, Title III & MIGRANT PROGRAMS / INTERNATIONAL CENTER AT JONES LEARNING CENTER

Title III is a federally-funded program that provides eligible Local Education Agencies with funding to supplement services for English learners. The mission of this program includes providing support to international parents and students in becoming an integral part of the school and community.

The Hall County School District serves over 5,200 English Learners with more than 40 languages represented. The district primarily provides language support through the English Speakers of Other Language (ESOL) program to eligible students. ESOL instruction focuses on the development and improvement of listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in English to increase student academic success.

In addition, students are introduced to the American cultural concepts while being encouraged to value their native language and culture.

Literacy Services and Parent Information Classes Available for Parents of ESOL Identified Students

The International Center organizes English classes for parents of ESOL identified students. These courses are designed to help parents learn English through conversational English, and collaboration. An additional offering available to parents of ESOL students is a general parent information session offered at the International Center.

These sessions help increase parent’s knowledge and skills in supporting their students. Specific topics include how to help their students with homework, assessing and navigating Infinite Campus, various ESOL topics from the WIDA website, and basic computer navigation skills.
The classes are held at the following locations/times:
