MLE Zone Schools
-
When a school does not offer the MLE/ELA services that parents choose, their child is eligible to attend the nearest MLE Zone School.
ELA-E Zone Schools
If ELA-E services are requested and not available at the student's home school, ELA-E zone schools are:
Elementary - Place Bridge Academy
Middle - Merrill
High - SouthTNLI Zone Schools
If parents select ELA-S services that are not available at the student's home school, they may attend a TNLI Zone School.
TNLI Zone School Maps show the Zone School (identified by a star) in each color coded area.
Newcomer Centers
All DPS schools have the ability to meet the needs of all Multilingual Learner students, including New-to-U.S. and Newcomer students. Families make the ultimate decision about their students’ placement.
Newcomer students meet three specific criteria, and may benefit from attending a Newcomer Center:
- New to English (WIDA 1.0-2.4) and may have limited Native Language Literacy
- Interrupted formal education (6 or more months)
- Enrolled in the U.S. for 2 or fewer semesters
Newcomer Centers serve students generally for one or two semesters to prepare them for participation in an MLE/ELA Program. Newcomer Centers are located at Place Bridge Academy, Merrill Middle School, DCIS-Montbello, Abraham Lincoln High School and South High School.
