San Angelo ISD Bilingual Program

San Angelo ISD offers a Transitional Bilingual/Early Exit Program for pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students through 3rd grade. The purpose of this program is for students identified as English Learners to become proficient in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English through the development of literacy and academic skills in both Spanish and in English.

The goal of the Transitional Bilingual/Early Exit Program is for students to utilize their primary language as a resource while acquiring full proficiency in English. Students will receive instruction in English and Spanish. Spanish language instruction will be gradually phased out with most students transitioning to English-only instruction and being English proficient by third grade.
