English Language Learning (ELL)

English Language Learning instruction promotes successful

integration into mainstream academic programs for students

in pre-kindergarten through grade 12 whose first, or primary,

language is not English and who have limited English proficiency.

ELL students new to Frederick County are assessed for English

language proficiency. The ELL Department recognizes

the importance of parental involvement and provides

interpreters for parent conferences and many translated

documents.  Most ELL elementary students receive their ELL support in

their local school. Some new ELL students in grades 3-5 are

served at Monocacy or Orchard Grove elementary

schools.  While Monocacy Middle School ELL students

receive their ELL instruction at their local school, all other ELL middle

school students attend West Frederick Middle School. All

high school ELL students attend Frederick High School.

Summer-school support is offered in conjunction with the

FCPS Summer Success Program.
