SY 2024-2025 Dual Language Programming Updates
After significant community engagement, Shirley Chisholm ES began a gradual transition to a whole school Bilingual-Arts program (previously, the school had two programming "strands," one dual language strand and one creative arts strand.). In SY 2023-2024, all students in PK3 and PK4 were part of the Bilingual-Arts program while students in K-5 continued in their selected strand, either Creative Arts, Dual Language, or special education Communication and Education Support (CES).
The Chisholm Bilingual-Arts program will phase in gradually each year until the entire school is learning Bilingual–Arts (PK3 – 5). In SY 2024-2025, students in PK3, PK4, and K will be part of the Bilingual-Arts program. We anticipate the transition to the Bilingual-Arts program will be complete, reaching grade 5, in SY 2029-2030. If in the future, families living in-boundary to Chisholm ES do not wish to have their child enroll in Chisholm’s Bilingual-Arts program in grades K and up, they will have the option to enroll at Chisholm's sister school, Payne Elementary.
