Our focus in the ESL Program is to address the needs of English Language Learners (ELs), whose first language is a language other than English. We strive to ensure that our student population, which includes a rich diversity in cultures from around the Pacific islands and abroad, attain proficiency in English and meet academic and content standards that all students are expected to meet. In the ESL class, the ELs become active learners of meaning and in making connections and transitions among ideas and elements.

"End-of-the-Year-Poem"

by:  Lois T. Gumataotao
ESL Teacher/Coordinator

To the Parents:
I am glad to have been your child’s teachers
And now the year has come to an end
It’s time to say  “Adios”
And together we all are friends.

I’ve watched your children learn and grow
And change throughout the 180 days
I hope that everything I have done
Have helped your child in various ways.

So with happy memories, pride, and belief
                 I send them out LBJ’s door
With great hope and expectations
For what next year holds in store!
          
To the Students:
I am glad to have been your teacher
You’ve learned so much and worked so hard
Now another door will open next year
But don’t forget you make me very proud.

I’ve come to nurture and love you so
The year now ends and we must part
Always remember to strive for success
And that you will always be in my heart.

So from me, Ms. Lois Gumataotao
I thank you for making the grade here
So have a safe and wonderful summer
And remember to visit me next year!
