Abstract
This capstone project aims to support all school staff, including teachers, administrators, cafeteria workers, office staff, and bus drivers who work with English Language Learners (ELLs), also known as English Learners (ELs). At East Elementary School, ELLs are being impacted by a lack of family involvement. Communication issues, culture clashes, lack of support for families, lack of services, unwelcoming school environments, rapidly increasing ELL population, parents' experiences with school, and socio-economics can all contribute to the low family involvement for ELLs. To increase family involvement among ELLs, a comprehensive plan has been constructed to mitigate this issue. Solutions to the problems at East Elementary include updating school signage, having translators present at all school functions, translating school materials, and hosting a family night out for ELLs.
