When will my child EXIT the ESL program?
Students exit the ESL program when they are proficient enough in English to 
succeed in their regular classrooms.  A test is given in December (as needed) 
and May.  Students who pass the test may exit the ESL program if they are 
completing their classroom work and homework assignments and reading and 
writing on or near grade level.
