English Language Learners

The Office of English Language Acquisition Services (OELAS) provides comprehensive support for students learning English as a second language.

How It Works: When new students enroll, they take the Arizona English Language Learner Assessment (AZELLA) to determine their English proficiency level. Based on the results, your child might be placed in:

  • Structured English Immersion classes
  • Push-in or pull-out English coaching support

We notify parents of the assessment results and placement decisions.

Our Goal: We’re here to help students develop the English language skills they need for both academic success and social connection. Every student deserves the support they need to thrive!

  • Assess and identify students who need language support
  • Build confidence in English communication
  • Teach academic vocabulary for success in all subjects
  • Support teachers with effective instructional strategies
  • Keep parents informed about their child’s progress and options
  • Empower families to support their child’s language learning journey
  • Maintain compliance with state and federal requirements
