Spanish Immersion Program (K‐12) Bellevue School District Would you like your child to be bilingual and academically challenged? This Spanish immersion program may be excellent fit for your child! What is Spanish Immersion? Launched in 1986, the Spanish Immersion Program is an option for students in the Bellevue School District. It gives elementary students an opportunity to complete the Bellevue School District curriculum in a nontraditional and exciting way—by immersing them in the Spanish language and culture from kindergarten through Grade 12. Students in the program become proficient in both Spanish and English, while learning the same curriculum content as their peers outside the program. How is this accomplished? With lots of hard work, parental involvement, and a dedicated staff! How does this program differ from other Bellevue Schools? Students in the Spanish Immersion Program are taught the standard Bellevue School District curriculum but receive instruction in Spanish. Through instruction, students learn to understand, speak, read and write Spanish. Classroom teachers have native or near‐native ability in the Spanish language. By Grade 5, students from Puesta del Sol test at average or above grade level in core academic areas. At the elementary level (K‐5), students receive the majority of their instruction in Spanish. Teachers speak Spanish to the students, while making sure they understand instructions and receive answers to their questions. English reading and language arts are introduced in third grade. In middle school, students take two classes in Spanish each year, Social Studies and Spanish Language, Literature and Culture. Students receive high school elective credit for three years of Spanish Language, Literature and Culture. The rest of their classes are taught in English. Students in high school take one Spanish Immersion class each year; AP Spanish Language in Grade 9, Honors Hispanic Studies and Humanities in Grade 10, AP Spanish Literature in Grade 11, and University of Washington Spanish 322 in Grade 12. Students can earn college credits for AP courses as well as UW credit in Grade 12. Students completing the Spanish Immersion Program will also receive an International Spanish Academy Diploma.

Spanish Immersion Program (K‐12)
Bellevue School District Would you like your child to be bilingual and academically challenged? This Spanish immersion program may be excellent fit for your child!
What is Spanish Immersion? Launched in 1986, the Spanish Immersion Program is an option for students in the Bellevue School District. It gives elementary students an opportunity to complete the Bellevue School District curriculum in a nontraditional and exciting way—by immersing them in the Spanish language and culture from kindergarten through Grade 12. Students in the program become proficient in both Spanish and English, while learning the same curriculum content as their peers outside the program. How is this accomplished? With lots of hard work, parental involvement, and a dedicated staff!
How does this program differ from other Bellevue Schools? Students in the Spanish Immersion Program are taught the standard Bellevue School District curriculum but receive instruction in Spanish. Through instruction, students learn to understand, speak, read and write Spanish. Classroom teachers have native or near‐native ability in the Spanish language. By Grade 5, students from Puesta del Sol test at average or above grade level in core academic areas.
At the elementary level (K‐5), students receive the majority of their instruction in Spanish. Teachers speak Spanish to the students, while making sure they understand instructions and receive answers to their questions. English reading and language arts are introduced in third grade. In middle school, students take two classes in Spanish each year, Social Studies and Spanish Language, Literature and Culture. Students receive high school elective credit for three years of Spanish Language, Literature and Culture. The rest of their classes are taught in English. Students in high school take one Spanish Immersion class each year; AP Spanish Language in Grade 9, Honors Hispanic Studies and Humanities in Grade 10, AP Spanish Literature in Grade 11, and University of Washington Spanish 322 in Grade 12. Students can earn college credits for AP courses as well as UW credit in Grade 12. Students completing the Spanish Immersion Program will also receive an International Spanish Academy Diploma.
What if no one at home speaks Spanish? That’s just fine. Most of our families do not speak Spanish. Many learn some Spanish over the years. Report cards, notices and newsletters are issued in English. Spanish homework assignments are not translated into English and it is not expected that parents will assist in Spanish homework activities.
Why choose the Spanish Immersion Program for my child? Studies have found that learning a second language at an early age has many benefits:
There is a positive effect on brain development and intellectual growth.
Students gain flexibility in thinking, greater sensitivity to language, and a better ear for listening.
It opens the door to other cultures and helps children understand and appreciate people from other countries.
Students acquire Spanish language fluency.
Spanish Immersion produces successful learners who perform well on standardized achievement tests.
Students have increased job opportunities in many careers where knowledge of another language is an asset.
How will Spanish Immersion affect my child’s English skills? English language instruction begins in third grade. At that point, many students are behind their English‐only peers in English reading and writing ability. However, by Grade 5 their English skills are equal to or better than their peers. Studies show that Spanish Immersion students perform well in English Language Arts, Math and other academic areas as well as, if not better than their monolingual peers on standardized achievement tests administered in English.
Are students in the Immersion Program screened for admission? Children are not screened or pre‐selected on the basis of IQ, previous language learning experience or other variables. However, parents of children with auditory problems, language delays or other challenges to learning should seriously consider the appropriateness of this program for their child. They may wish to consult with the elementary school counselor or principal to discuss their concerns.
What should parents think about when considering this program? The best decision can be made by thoroughly exploring all aspects of the program and speaking with parents and students to learn about the benefits of language immersion. Enrolling a child in this program should be viewed as a commitment at least through Grade 5. The goals of the program are best met when students stay with language immersion until they graduate from high school. It is not in the best interest of students or the program for students to be enrolled for only a one or two year “experience.”
Are there other language immersion elementary schools in the Bellevue School District? Yes. Sherwood Forest, Lake Hills and Stevenson Elementary schools have Spanish dual language programs where students spend part of their day in a Spanish language learning environment and part of their day in an English language environment. Jing Mei Elementary is a dual language program for Mandarin Chinese.
When do I enroll my child? Enrollment begins in January for the upcoming school year. If the number of applicants exceeds the number of spaces available, a lottery is conducted to determine admission. Students whose applications are not drawn during the lottery process will be placed on a waiting list and contacted by the school if space becomes available unless they choose to attend another language immersion program in the District, in which case they may seek to register again at Puesta del Sol the following year.
Can I enroll my child after kindergarten? Most students enter the program in kindergarten. If openings occur during Grades 1 through 5, students may test in to those grades. Entry is by test‐in/evaluation only. Students’ Spanish language proficiency must be at grade level and will complete a written and oral assessment in Spanish prior to being enrolled.
Is transportation available? Bus transportation is available from centralized locations for students living within the Bellevue School District. Transportation is not provided for students living outside the Bellevue School District.
Who do I contact for more information? More details are available from the school office at Puesta del Sol Elementary School or at www.bsd405.org then click Schools.

*These are absences that we may be able to impact.
ClassroomAbsencesbyType,Summary(Sept.,Oct.,Nov.)• The greatest type of absence each day is for sick leave
• The rate of sick leave use can be predicted between 40% and 50% each day
• The use of personal leave and professional development leave have increased dramatically since 2013.
StepsTakenSince2012‐13
• Updated sub system to SmartfindExpress
• Incentive pay for subs
• Increased sub pay
• Expanded recruitment efforts
• Hired contracted substitutes (4 positions)
• Hiring emergency certificated substitutes (15+ so far in 2015)
• Survey of current substitute teachers (Dec. 2015)
• Data has two components – 1) number and quality of substitutes, 2) managing absences
• The key target is 100% fill rate for all instructional days for all classroom absences of teachers. Even one unfilled absence may create significant impact for students and other staff members.
• A target of 10% absenteeism is more likely to result in 100% fill rate. This varies daily but averages 120 absences per day.
NextSteps
16
• Look at managing absences for professional development more strategically
• Continue to recruit and hire qualified substitutes
• Goals – Short‐Term (by March 1, 2016)• Reduce unfilled absence rate to below 4.5% by January 31,
2016• Review Professional Development Release for remainder of
school year, adjust as needed
• Goals – Long‐Term (after March 1, 2016)• Reduce unfilled absence rate to below 3% by January 31, 2017• Work with Bellevue Education Association on strategies to
manage teacher coverage during bargaining and after• Create consistent school systems to address teacher coverage.
• Identify where public can find information
BoilingitDowntoNumbers
17
• Managing classroom teacher absence rate at 10% daily
• Addressing days that have high absence patterns (Fridays and Mondays)
• Continue to analyze data for more specific understanding (drill down)
• Combination of reduction by 10 to 20 absences per day and increase in 5 to 10 available subs per day like to lead closer to 100% fill rate
