Manor ISD offers a dual-language two-way program at the kindergarten, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade level in three of its elementary schools in the 2022-2023 school year. 

2022-23 Participating Campuses (Kindergarten-3rd):

• ShadowGlen Elementary
• Bluebonnet Trail Elementary
• Decker Elementary (1st-3rd only)

Dual Language Two Way Immersion is an educational model that integrates native English speakers and native speakers of Spanish for all or most of the day, with the goals of promoting high academic achievement, first-and-second-language development, and cross-cultural understanding for all students. In dual-language two-way programs, language learning takes place primarily through content and literacy instruction in both languages. For more about the program please see the attached FAQ.

The program is open to all rising Kindergartners for the year 2022-2023* (students previously in dual language programming in previous districts may be eligible depending on availability).

La inmersión bidireccional en dos idiomas es un modelo educativo que integra a hablantes nativos de inglés y hablantes nativos de español durante la mayor parte del día, con el objetivo de promover un alto rendimiento académico, el desarrollo de la primera y la segunda lengua y la comprensión intercultural para todos los alumnos. En el programa bidireccional, el aprendizaje de los dos idiomas se realiza principalmente a través del contenido y la instrucción de alfabetización en ambos idiomas. Para más información sobre el programa, consulte las preguntas frecuentes adjuntas.

El programa está abierto para futuros estudiantes de kinder en el año escolar 2022-2023 (los estudiantes que hayan previamente participado en el programa de lenguaje dual en el distrito anterior pueden ser elegibles si se cuenta con espacios disponibles).

The English as a Second Language Program serves students identified as English learners through rich language and content area instruction that develops fluency in listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English and academic competency.

English learners in grades PK-12 whose native language is not Spanish, or may not qualify for a bilingual model, may receive instruction through an ESL program which does not include native language instruction. Students served in our ESL program are taught by an ESL certified teacher in a pull-out or inclusionary delivery model.

The Dual Language One-Way Program supports students whose primary language is Spanish to become bilingual, biliterate, and multicultural through literacy and content learning in English and Spanish.

All participating students in the dual language program receive instruction in language arts and content area subjects primarily in Spanish in the early grades (PK-2) with a grade-specific amount of English Language Arts instruction incorporated daily. English instruction is gradually increased through the grade levels (PK-2) and by third grade, instruction is presented in a 50% Spanish /50% English format.

The Transitional bilingual program model serves students who are English learners in both English and Spanish until the student is ready to transfer to English-only instruction. This model provides instruction in literacy and academic content areas through Spanish and English, with an emphasis on English oral and academic language development.

All participating students receive instruction in language arts and content subjects primarily in Spanish in the early grades (K-2) with a grade-specific amount of English as a Second Language/English Language Development instruction incorporated daily and increased through the grade levels.  Students transfer to English only instruction within two to five years after enrollment.
