ELD stands for English Language Development. The program is designed for students whose first language is not English and whose English proficiency level is from beginner to advanced. This class will provide English language development through systematic and explicit instruction of vocabulary, grammar and syntax.
Since the Program's inception in 1994, there have been 21 different languages represented in the ELD program throughout the eight elementary schools and three secondary schools in the Roseburg School District.
The goal of the ELD program is to help students develop their English language skills.

How do students qualify for ELD service?
The ELD program office, located at the Roseburg Public Schools central office, has the responsibility of in-taking, assessing, and placing students with limited English skills new to the district. Students remain in the program until they achieve academic language proficiency and meet the program exit criteria.
How are students assessed?
Students are assessed annually with State mandated English Language Proficiency Assessment (ELPA). In addition all students participate in district and state achievement tests.
What should I do if I have a student/child who I think may need ELD services?
If a student appears to be limited English proficient (LEP) and is not already receiving ELD program services, call the ELD program office at (541) 440-4005. An ELD teacher will arrange to meet with the family/teachers to assess the student and discuss program options.
