Dear Families/Guardians:
Walla Walla Public Schools is now accepting applications for the K-5 Dual Immersion Program at both Edison and Green Park Elementary for the 2024-2025 school year. Please read below for more information.
The goal of the program is to ensure that all students who participate achieve proficiency in both Spanish and English. Please consider the following as you decide if dual language is the right choice for your child:
Your child is comfortable in a variety of educational settings;
Your child has already expressed an interest in different people, places and things;
As a family, you will support learning a second language through school attendance, participation in school events and practice of both languages in your home.
If you are interested in your child participating in the K-5 Dual Immersion Program, please complete the following application. Please note that this application has a parent/guardian acknowledgement page to complete. Your application will not be accepted unless all areas of the application are filled out completely.
Once we receive your dual language application, the Equity and Dual Programs Department will review your application. Please note that you must complete the district enrollment, submit the necessary documents as well as the dual language application to be considered for the program.
