What is ESOL?

ESOL is the name Florida has given to its program for teaching English for Speakersof Other Languages.

What are ESOL services?

The ESOL program in Orange County Public Schools is designed specifically to improve the language

proficiency of students whose native language is not English. Students have access to the grade level

curriculum and all school services. Teachers are qualified to teach English for Speakers of Other

Languages.

How does my child qualify for ESOL services?

According to the Florida state rule 6A-6.0902, it starts with the home language survey when you enroll

your student during the registration process. Parent/guardian answered “yes” to any of the three home

language survey questions:

1. Is a language other than English used in the home?
2. Does the student have a first language other than English?
3. Does the student most frequently speak a language other than English?

Answering "Yes" to one or more of the home language survey questions will require your child to be

screened for English language proficiency.

At Sun Blaze Elementary, we believe in nurturing every student's potential. That's why we offer a range of programs, from our specialized gifted and varying exceptionality classes to vibrant performing arts opportunities. Our 4th and 5th graders can even discover the joy of music by joining the orchestra!

Beyond academics, we celebrate our community's rich tapestry with a multicultural fair, recognizing the diverse backgrounds of our students and families. And for those budding scientists, our science night is designed to spark curiosity and engage students' inquisitiveness. Throughout the year, each grade level also proudly presents an evening music and dance performance, showcasing our students' incredible talents.

Sun Blaze Elementary School has an active School Advisory Committee (SAC) where teachers, parents and other community members attend the monthly SAC meeting to serve as the voice of school improvement. Our Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is a group of dedicated individuals that come together with the goal of creating joyful memories, building connections, and working hand-in-hand to make our school the best it can be for every child.

Additions volunenteers are a key ingrediant to the success of Sun Blaze Elementary School. Many events and occasions would not be possible without school volunteers. Volunteers are always needed for chaperones for field trips, Field Day, reading programs, parties, activities, grade transformations, and the list goes on. Sign up to be a volunteer today!
