Secondary ESL Services in LISD

Qualifying for ESL Services 

All Texas schools follow the same guidelines for identification of students for ESL services. The Texas English Learner Portal designed by TEA provides information for parents about these processes, including an overview of the identification process, explanation of the language assessments administered throughout the year, and answers to frequently asked questions.

The ESL Program Parent Brochure provided by TEA is available to download as a PDF in English, Spanish, and Vietnamese. To download a copy of this resource, please choose a language: English, Spanish, or Vietnamese.

In LISD, ESL program processes may occur at our campuses and our district offices. We provide the LAS Links language proficiency assessment at our campuses and at our Welcome Center. This assessment is used to identify students for language program services and may also be administered to assess language progress. For more information about this assessment, please contact the ESL Liaison for your child's school or contact Community Services at the LISD Welcome Center.
