  3. My child will receive instruction in both languages for equal amounts of time.

  5. My child will continue to learn and develop academically, socially, and culturally in his/her first language and second language throughout the duration of the program.
  6. My child will develop bilingual (understanding and speaking) and bi-literate (reading and writing) competencies in the two languages.
  7. My child will maintain a consistent attendance record. I will inform the school of his/her absences due to illness or family emergencies. I understand that my child may be withdrawn from the program due to excessive absences and/or referrals to the principal for disciplinary action.
  8. I will attend the scheduled Dual Language Enrichment Program parent meetings, participate in DLE events, and support the program and the classroom teachers.
