“Community Reads!” is an award-winning family and community engagement website connecting literacy lessons in the elementary classroom with activities and conversations beyond the school day. By continuing literacy-based activities and conversations at home, families help reinforce and practice concepts learned in class. The initiative has been recognized with an 'Award of Distinction' from the Florida Public Relations Association (FPRA), a “Medallion Award” from the Sunshine State School Public Relations Association (SUNSPRA), and a 'Golden Achievement' award from the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA).
For more information related to standards-based reading and writing lessons happening in the classroom each month, just “LOOK FOR THE BOOK” on the Marion County Public School’s website and choose your child’s grade level.

Resources for Bilingual and ESOL Families
Welcome to ESOL!
We would like to extend our students, their families, and all staff members our sincerest wishes for a highly successful and productive school year.
We would like to encourage the parents and guardians of our English Language Learners (ELLs) to share in our enthusiasm by participating in the activities that will take place in their child's school during the year. The Bilingual/ESOL Newsletter offers many resources geared towards supporting bilingual and ESOL families.
OUR MISSION
To Expedite the English language acquisition of our English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) students so they function to the best of their ability and to the highest of their potential without the assistance of our Program. Ultimately, the mission of the ESOL Department is to prepare and develop successful bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural citizens in an increasingly multicultural society, meeting the challenges of the 21st century.
