If you are applying for a dual language immersion program and your child speaks the target language of the program to which you are applying, make an appointment for a language assessment when you apply online. If this is not available through the application, a district representative will contact you.

Students who pass the language assessment qualify as "target language proficient speakers" for the enrollment lottery.

Following the lottery in February, applicants will be notified if they have been accepted to a dual language immersion or magnet program.
