We would also like to extend our appreciation to Bart’s Office for their assistance in transporting the shipment to the designated staging site at White Hills Elementary School. The EBR Schools Facilities Team is working to develop a plan for this donation, which includes launching a hydration awareness campaign and establishing distribution stations to ensure that all students benefit from this generous contribution.

About 450 English learners in EBR Schools — students who are learning English and have a native language other than English — continue to make strides by achieving proficiency on a standardized test that measures English language skills. This year, the district experienced a positive growth of over 2 percentage points, increasing proficiency from 8% to 10% on the English Language Proficiency Test. Additionally, the percentage of emerging students decreased from 36% to 34%. This achievement is particularly impressive, as it comes with nearly 100 more English learners in the district this year. These results highlight the dedication and hard work of our English as a Second Language teachers, paraprofessionals and content teachers. Congratulations to all our students and staff.
