English Language Learners
There is a growing population of students in the area where English is not the language spoken at home. This can make it difficult for students to understand the information presented in the classroom. We are here to help! Please call our TESOL teacher, Debbie Erwin, at 937-743-8601 or by email at derwin@franklincityschools.com
