Dual-Language Immersion (DLI) Program
SHARE
Norton Park Elementary provides a class of third, fourth and fifth grade students with a Dual Language Immersion Program to develop and prepare linguistic and academic competencies in two languages, in order to be highly engaged and contributing global citizens. The program is being phased out at Norton Park but those students who enrolled in kindergarten in the 2021-22 school year will be able to complete it.
Within the program, Dual Language Immersion students will become bilingual, biliterate and develop positive cross-cultural attitudes and behaviors. The program will integrate native Spanish-speaking students and native English-speaking students to promote bilingualism, biliteracy, grade-level academic achievement, and positive cross-cultural awareness.

Notes on Translation
The electronic translation service is hosted by Google Translate. The quality of the translation will vary in some of the languages offered by Google. Google Translate is a free service and currently offers translation in over 50 languages, although an impressive number, this does not capture all languages or dialects. The basic translation’s goal is to capture the general intention of the original English material.
The Cobb County School District does not guarantee the quality, accuracy or completeness of any translated information. Before you act on translated information, the District encourages you to confirm any facts that are important to you and affect any decisions you may make.
The Cobb County School District is committed to parent, family and community engagement, and it is our hope that by providing this tool on our website that we are making our information more accessible to families whose first language is not English and thereby enabling better engagement in public education.
