If you are applying for a dual language immersion program and your child speaks the target language of the program to which you are applying, make an appointment for a language assessment when you apply online. If this is not available through the application, a district representative will contact you.

Students who pass the language assessment qualify as "target language proficient speakers" for the enrollment lottery.
