Translated Document Supports for Parents and Guardians of English Learners

The Mississippi Department of Education is pleased to provide Spanish, Arabic, Chinese and Vietnamese translations for the recently released guidance document for parents of English learners. 

 Supports for Parents and Guardians of English Learners is designed with parents of English learners in mind and answers questions about what the English learner designation means.  It may be given to parents upon determination of EL qualification.  It is written in a question and answer format and addresses the most common questions posed by parents of English learners and provides parents with important information about their rights and the rights of their children under the English learner designation.  Parents are also provided with general information about questions to ask and who to contact for specific school related issues. 

 All language versions of this document can be found on our Supports for English Learners webpage. 

 Questions regarding these documents may be addressed to Sandra Elliott (selliott@mdek12.org).
