AISD School Changes Proposal Reilly-Ridgetop Two-Way Dual-Language Program Students from Reilly and Ridgetop elementary schools will have the opportunity to learn in a bright, modern school, at the Reilly site, with flexible classrooms and expanded two- way dual-language programs in Spanish, Chinese (Mandarin) and English. It will provide opportunities for all students to learn a second language while communicating with, learning from, and forming connections with students from diverse cultures and backgrounds. The Ridgetop facility will close, and resources will be combined and invested to enhance academic programming within welcoming and inspiring learning spaces. Serving Students Students who speak English, Spanish, or Chinese (Mandarin) as their primary language will grow and learn together—and from each other—as they gain fluency in a new language in a modern, immersive environment. Preparing Our Kids To Succeed By Emphasizing the value of diverse classrooms where students are evenly, or nearly evenly split between native English and native secondary language learners. Allowing students who speak English, Spanish, and/or Mandarin (Chinese) to learn in the same classroom and share knowledge as they develop multilingual skills as part of the program. Beginning language expansion programs in Pre-K, creating globally-minded students from the first level of education. Creating modern, flexible, inspiring academic spaces for students to learn. Combining resources and talents into one school, improving student outcomes and success. Creating outdoor learning environments at Reilly and surrounding park space. Adjusting boundaries and feeder patterns to meet the needs of students. Financial Implications Academic Program Cost. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
