Dual Language Immersion Programs

Written by

Dual language immersion is a 50/50 instructional model in which students spend half their day learning in English and the other half learning in Spanish or Chinese. Through developmentally appropriate curriculum, students naturally pick up the language as they learn other subjects. The program is based on the total language learning approach incorporating content-based instruction and explicit language instruction. Our goal is that our immersion students will become bi-literate and bilingual.

Within Weber School District there are four language immersion programs. A separate application is required for each program. If you would like more information about a specific program, you are welcome and encouraged to attend an informational meeting hosted by the school principal and a school district representative. Only students entering 1st grade during the 2024-2025 school year are eligible to apply. Applications will be available at 9:00 AM on morning following the parent meeting at each school site. 

All applications are due March 22, 2024 by 11:59 PM.
Please contact the school principal for additional information.

--Applications may only be submitted on behalf of incoming first graders.--

  2. After the Iron Kid competition we will have students line up; on “go” they will start Hula Hooping. All hula hoops will be provided by the school district.
  3. We will have judges watching the students: students need to use from under their arms to their knees for the hoop; if it touches any other part of their body they need to sit down. Students are not to use hands, arms, necks or feet. If the student quits or if the hoop touches the ground they will need to sit down; if they are tapped on the shoulder by the judge, they will sit down.
