HOME LANGUAGE SURVEY

ELL (English Language Learner)

                              PARENT PERMISSION FORM

Because district personnel are often unaware that ELL students are in their schools, the MDE (Mississippi Department of Education) strongly recommends that home language information be obtained at the time the student first registers for school.  This information should be obtained for all students, including Native American students who may need language development services.
