What is the school's initial intake process for ELL students?
If the student is entering Kindergarten, there is a general screener called Alpha 21.
If they move from within the district, there are folders for each student that will be sent to the new school with all of the students' data.
What are some teaching strategies K-3 teachers use to support ELL students with learning?
Lots of visuals and vocabulary work.
Does the district have a communication plan as they work with families and ELL students?
The school has a document that explains how to get an interpreter if one is needed and there are interpreters that are within the district to help with communication.
The info you got was explained well and had details of how things work. Lots of visuals definitely helps these students with becoming comfortable in the new environment.
