🚌📚 The Brandywine Bobcats are back to school—and making new friends along the way! 🐾

At Brandywine Elementary, we had four students test out of World-Class Instructional Design and Assessment (WIDA) and are now proficient English learners!

🐾What does this mean?🐾 Students who do not have English as their primary language, no matter what, are always screened by the district when they enter the district. If they have a language barrier and it affects their learning, Ms. Kwon, the EL Teacher, will work with them on their speaking, reading, and writing skills in the areas that they struggle in. When students test out of WIDA, this means they have tested out of getting these accommodations and extra support because their understanding of the English language is now proficient.

Congrats to these four students! We are so proud of you!

Nothing says fall like crisp air, marching band music, and Friday night lights (okay, Thursday this week 😉). The marching band was hard at work during class today practicing for their first half-time show!
