Would you like your child to be able to read, write
and speak in two languages?
Then consider the Dual-Language Program at Delaware
Community School. A language-immersion program in Spanish and English,
the program is open to children throughout the city starting in
prekindergarten.
The program features one bilingual class for each grade
through fifth. The pre-K class has 18 seats total, nine for Spanish
speakers and nine for English speakers.
Most students begin the program in pre-K and continue
through fifth grade. Therefore, few spots, if any, are open for older
children. However, the district keeps a waiting list on the chance a
seat becomes available.
Parents who want to enter a child in the pre-K class next
fall must complete an application for the April 16 pre-K lottery.
Applications will be available March 1 at the school, at
www.albanyschools.org and at
Central Registration, located in Lincoln Park’s Sunshine School.
The deadline to return completed applications is March 31
at 3 p.m.
For more information, parents may call Marva Mcfarland in
Central Registration at 462-7207 or Delaware Community School Principal
Tom Giglio at 475-6750. |
