Dual language immersion is a research-proven instructional approach that prepares students to think, read and write in two languages, resulting in students becoming bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural.

Dual Language Immersion programs are additive - meaning that a child does not lose their native language, but instead strengthens their native language plus adds a second language.

Bilingualism and biliteracy prepares students to think more broadly and critically, results in higher language arts and math achievement and increases career pathways opportunities in their adulthood.

Larsen continue to explore offering a Dual Language Program at Larsen starting in the fall. Many of our new TK and Kindergarten students are interested in enrolling in a Dual Language Program.

Cafe con leche/Coffee and Cream

Join us for our Parent Meeting on Friday, March 24 at 8:30 AM. Our presentation will be on social media.

WeTip - Anonymous Reporting for Safety and Bullying Concerns

We'd like to share that the Hueneme Elementary School District officially launched our new anonymous reporting system, WeTip. Please note the different ways a student may make a report:

• Text REPORT to 844.805.7893

Simply text REPORT to the dedicated phone number to receive a link directly to your mobile device where you can submit any report safely and anonymously.

• Visit the home page of any HESD School Website

Our web-based form gives you an online, anonymous way to report unfolding situations through every school website. You can choose to remain completely anonymous. There is a link on every school website.

• Call (844) 805-7893

Speak anonymously with a trained WeTip Agent to report any bullying, threats, discrimination, or other tips. Report anytime day or night, whatever is most comfortable for you. A bilingual agent is available 24/7.

• Scan the QR Code (On all HESD WeTip Posters)

HESD has been provided with a dedicated QR Code that, when scanned, will take you directly to online reporting forms where you can easily submit concerns.

Schools around the district are now using an APP called, "Parent Square" which supports communication with staff and students at the class, school, and district level and integrates with our student information system.

Enter the cell phone or email that is on file in Q to sign in or sign up.

The roundabout is a single car ONLY. Drivers may never pass on the left to get out of the roundabout. Drivers must exit and drive back in.

Please make sure to follow all traffic rules.

Don't block neighborhood driveways or double park. It is not SAFE for our students.

Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning Project ongoing at Larsen. Our school will be getting air conditioning and updated heating systems in all classrooms. This project will be done in phases until done. As we go through the phases we will need to relocate classes as needed to allow the construction. Please talk to your student and continue to reassure them that their learning experience will continue to be the best every single day. We are completing Phase 2 and starting Phase 3.
