North Sanpete School District DLI Presentation During Legislation Committee

Dear elementary DLI teachers,

 

We are thrilled to share exciting news from the Utah Capitol! During a recent legislative meeting, North Sanpete School District proudly showcased the outstanding success of its Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program. It was a powerful moment of recognition for the incredible work happening in your classrooms every day.

 

 

Moroni Elementary was proudly showcased during the recent legislative committee meeting with a moving presentation celebrating the school’s 12-year Dual Language Immersion program. Four sixth-grade students shared heartfelt reflections on their experiences—two in English and two in Spanish—demonstrating both their academic growth and bilingual confidence. Their voices highlighted not only the program’s educational impact, but also its powerful role in bringing students, families, and cultures together. The presentation was a meaningful reminder of how Moroni Elementary’s commitment to language learning has strengthened community connections and created a welcoming, unified environment for all. Well done Moroni Elementary!

Winter PD 2026 Materials Available

Dear elementary DLI teachers,

 

Thank you for a wonderful Winter Professional Development session! We are so grateful for the high level of attendance, engagement, and collaboration you all brought to the table. We hope you found this opportunity as valuable as we did.

 

The materials shared during the 2026 Winter PD have been uploaded to the Professional Development section of the website.

 

We are excited to share that the Spanish DLI team will soon begin the second round of annual classroom visits to see the great work you are all doing in your classrooms every day. These observations are a follow-up to our work together on counterbalanced language forms instruction and the use of the writing rubric. We would love to see you putting these strategies into practice! Each observation will focus on one of these two areas, and you get to choose which one you would like us to observe. These visits will also help us better understand how to support you moving forward.

 

We will coordinate the visits with your principals and they will notify you when we will visit your classroom. 

 

Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing you in your classrooms!

 

The Utah Spanish DLI team
