Knowing two languages is truly a gift. At our school we want students to see the value of being bilingual. It is our hope that our Spanish speakers maintain their native language. The LTISD Bilingual program is a late-exit program. It is the goal of this campus to ensure that all students have access and opportunities to be a part of the complete learning environment. Our learning pods have created opportunities for our students to integrate and become one student body and not two segregated groups of students. The campus sees this as an important part of our success. All teachers are accountable for all students at the grade level. There is a shared accountability and responsibility for the learning and success of each and every child on our campus.
