D115 Dual Language Information Night

From Yorkville District 115 School District: Parents interested in learning more about Yorkville CUSD 115's Dual Language program are invited to attend an information night from 6-7 p.m. on Thursday, April 5 in the Autumn Creek Elementary School Cafeteria (Door 2), 2377 Autumn Creek Blvd., Yorkville. Childcare will be available.

Dual Language kindergarten is open to all students enrolling in the fall for the 2018-19 school year. A lottery will be held if there are more students interested than spaces available. The Dual Language Information Night provides parents an opportunity to turn in their children's application form to enter the program, and to ask questions.

What is a Dual Language program?

• The program integrates monolingual English-speaking students with Spanish-speaking students in the same classroom
• All students develop high levels of proficiency in Spanish and English and learn to read, write, listen, and speak two languages equally well over time
• Students achieve grade-level academic performance in Spanish and English
• Students develop positive cross-cultural attitudes and behaviors
• Students gain an edge in high school, college, and the workplace of a global economy
