ESOL: The “English to Speakers of Other Languages” (ESOL) is a program for students from diverse language and cultural backgrounds who are English Language Learners (ELLs). The goal of the program is for English learner students to increase both English language proficiency and academic language proficiency in content-area classrooms. ESOL teachers work closely with content-area classroom teachers to provide the support for our ELL students to be successful. Students are identified for the ESOL program through a screener developed for different grade levels. After qualifying for ESOL, students are administered an assessment (ACCESS Test) each February to determine their proficiency. As a student becomes increasingly proficient in the English language as well as academic language proficiency, less support is needed. A student may exit the program when he/she has demonstrated a proficiency level that will allow the student to be successful with little to no support with the English language.

Packer Health Clinic

The Packer Health Clinic is a school-based telehealth clinic located at Stringfellow Elementary School in partnership with Colquitt Regional Medical Center physicians. Students will be able to be evaluated by a school nurse for acute illnesses such as sore throat, earache, and skin rashes, as well as have lab tests administered for viruses such as flu and strep. The student can have a virtual visit with a physician for diagnosis and treatment if needed. The Packer Health Clinic program will allow for a faster evaluation of medical needs, reduce the spread of any contagious condition by eliminating the need to visit a doctor’s office, and quicker access to treatment once diagnosed by the physician. For minor cases, parents will benefit from not having to leave work but still be able to have their child receive medical attention. To participate in telehealth services in the Packer Health Clinic, guardians must complete an enrollment packet provided by the student’s school nurse.
