The bilingual program is available for students in grades Pre-K through 6th, who are Emergent Bilingual (EB) students and are Spanish speaking. If a student is EB and does not speak Spanish, then he/she would have an English as a Second Language (ESL) program available to them.

At registration, parents are required to fill out a Home Language Survey (HLS) that asks what language their child speaks at home and what language is used mostly at home. A student is given the Texas oral language proficiency assessment. For Pre-K and Kinder they are given the Pre Las. For 1st grade they are given the LAS Links. They are given the assessment for listening and speaking in English when a response on the HLS is anything other than English. If the parent states that Spanish is the language used, then the student is also given the assessment in Spanish. Any student who does not receive a score of English fluency will be offered the bilingual program.

In grades 2nd through 5th, the student is given the LAS Links for listening, speaking, reading and writing in English when the response on the HLS is anything other than English. If Spanish is the language used, then the student is also given the assessment in Spanish. If a student does not receive a level of fluency in English, he/she will be offered participation in the bilingual program.
