TheÌý¿ìè³É°æÊÓƵ and the Office of Bilingual Education and World LanguagesÌýis committed to facilitating the ability of school districts to fully engage all parents in collaboration for student success and in helping students to become college and career ready. We want to ensure that parents and guardians of ELLs have a voice in their children’s education and have the information they need to advocate for their children and to make informed decisions regarding their education.Ìý Thus, we have created a number of resources, translated in up to 26 languages, specifically for parents:

• An ELL parent orientation video, whichÌýwill inform parentsÌýregarding ELL programs
• A Comprehensive Guide for Parents of ELLs
• Information for Parents on the NYS Identification Test for English Language Learners (NYSITELL) and on the New York State English as a Second Language Achievement Test (NYSESLAT)
• A Parent Bill of Rights
• A Guide to Community-based Organizations for Immigrants
• A Common Core Standards Guide
• NYS ELL Parent Hotline
• ELL ParentÌýEvents
