Pathway to Biliteracy
We invite your student to participate in an exciting opportunity to celebrate multilingual abilities.
The Branson R-IV School District would like to recognize students in grades K-8 who demonstrate an ability to communicate in more than one language, based on designated criteria. The Pathway to Biliteracy Award can be earned by demonstrating appropriate tasks in English and another language each school year. Applications should be returned to building EL Specialists by the deadline each spring. Students will be recognized with a certificate at the end of each school year in which they have met the criteria for the Pathway to Biliteracy Award.
Applications for the 2024-2025 Pathway to Biliteracy were provided to every student in grades K-8 during the first week of February and can also be found below. Your student’s application is due to their building Pathway to Biliteracy Coordinator by February 28, 2025.
