English Language Learners

The English Language Education Program serves a growing population of diverse students.   All students in Bedford Public Schools receive instruction in general education classrooms.  English Learners are also eligible for additional English instruction through the EL program.

The EL Program is committed to the future success of every student.  Just as students become proficient in English over time, we encourage students in our schools to graduate graduate with the Seal of Biliteracy.  We encourage you to continue to develop your child's native language and culture.  

When you register your son/daughter with Bedford Public Schools you will complete the Home Language Survey.  If you indicate that, at home, you speak a language other than English, you are entitled to have school documents translated where practicable into your primary/home language. You are also entitled to have oral interpretation services at meetings and of documents, if needed.  Please use the Need for Translation-Interpretation Services form to request these services.  If you need assistance with this form, please contact the EL Director K-12, Carrie Powers, at (781) 275-7606 ext. 4862.
