Dual Language Immersion
We are proud to announce that Larsen will start a 90:10 Dual Language Model Program this Fall of 2023, for incoming Kindergarten age students and 1st grade students.
The program goals are :
- prepare students to perform at or above grade level in both languages (English and Spanish).
to develop high level of proficiency in listening , speaking, reading, writing in both academic English and academic Spanish
To develop positive attitudes towards those who speak a second language and originate from various cultures.
To promote self esteem and lifelong leadership skills
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.
Please feel free to come to the office or contact me if you have any questions.
Mental Health Awareness Month
Mental Health Awareness Month was established in 1949 to increase awareness of the importance of mental health and wellness in Americans’ lives and to celebrate recovery from mental illness. For the past 20 years, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has recognized Mental Health Awareness Month (MHAM) every May to increase awareness about the vital role mental health plays in our overall health and well-being.

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.

Safety First
Please remember the safety of our students is our first priority. We need your help!
The roundabout is a drop off/pick up zone only. You should never get out of your vehicle to walk students in the roundabout. If you need to assist your child, please park and walk your child in.
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.
HVAC
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 3 and starting Phase 4.
