Exciting News!  The Dual Language Program is coming to Kelly School! (PDF)

 

The Holyoke Public Schools Dual Language Program is an innovative program that offers students the opportunity to learn in two languages: English and Spanish. This program is held at three locations. Metcalf School offers grades PK-5, E.N. White offers grades PK-2, and new for school year 20-21, Kelly will offer the program in kindergarten. The goal of the program is to reach high levels of academic achievement, bilingualism, and bi-literacy in a safe and engaging learning environment that values multiculturalism while preparing students for college and career.        

 

Eligibility: For the dual language program, students entering preschool must be 4 years old on or before September 1, 2020. All students applying for grades 3-6 will need to be evaluated to determine their verbal, written, and reading level in Spanish. Students must meet the Spanish language criteria for the grade they are applying to in order to be accepted into that grade.

 

For the 2020-2021 school year, Metcalf will be expanding to offer grades PK-6, E.N. White will offer grades PK-3, and Kelly will have kindergarten.
