The document summarizes the dual-language program at Bruce-Monroe Elementary School @ Park View in Washington, DC. It was established in 2003 in response to the changing demographic of the school population. The program serves students from pre-K to 5th grade, splitting them into dual-language and English-only groups. Dual-language students spend half their day learning in English and the other half in Spanish. Research shows benefits like higher test scores after 3 years and learning a second language at an early age. The school involves parents through meetings, workshops and volunteering opportunities.
