All those who speak a language other than English and are new to UCPS should be directed to the ESL Academic Support Center. The ESL Center is open Monday through Friday from 7:30 a.m. until 4:00 p.m. and is located at the Walter Bickett Education Center. Directions to the ESL Center (in English and Spanish) and a map providing directions from each school are available in each school’s office so that they can be shared with families.
The ESL Center provides assistance with registration, information about schools, and language proficiency assessment. Proficiency in language skills will determine eligibility for the UCPS English as a Second Language Program.
Information and materials are available for teachers and parents to check out. These materials may be checked out through the Parent Engagement Coordinator.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call the center at 704-289-5460 or 704-238-1190.
