Migrant and Newcomer Program Information

Migrant and Newcomer Programs

Migrant Program Overview
The Migrant Education Program is designed to provide supplementary educational and support services to identified migratory children and youth. 

The main objective of the Migrant Education Program is to ensure that migratory children, and their families receive supplemental support and academic services needed to succeed in school. To qualify for the Migrant Education Program, a child must have moved within the past three years across school district boundaries with a migrant parent, guardian, or self, to obtain temporary or seasonal employment in an agricultural, fishing, dairy or food processing activity. 

Fresno County Office of Education notifies CUSD of any new families who qualify for Migrant services. Our Community Liaison then personally makes contact with all new families and offers support to both students and their families.  If you want more information or believe you qualify, please contact our District Community Liaison:  Rebecca Rodriguez at [email protected]

Newcomer Program Overview
The Newcomer Program is designed to provide supports to students who have recently moved to the United States. Newcomer is an umbrella term for foreign-born students who have recently arrived in the United States. Newcomer students may include, but are not limited to, asylees, refugees, unaccompanied youth, undocumented youth, migratory students, and other immigrant children and youth identified by the local educational agencies (LEAs). 

The newcomer program is intended to help bridge the educational and social-emotional experience of students. We support newcomer students and their families during, at a minimum, their first year of schooling in the United States.

School Year Opportunities and Supports

School Year Opportunities and Supports

Throughout the school year, our Migrant and Newcomer Students are supported in a variety of ways that are supplemental to the supports that their peers may receive. These supports include, but are not limited to the following:

*Support by our District Community Liaison who works with both students and parents
*Translation Support
*Regular Grade Monitoring and data analysis to determine further interventions and supports
*Intervention support provided at their school sites
*Referrals to Wrap-Around Services on an as needed basis
*Transition Support 
*Parent Resources through Parent Nights, Parent Meetings (such as DELAC), and other parent outreach activities
* Tutoring is also available 24/7 via Clever

Additionally, all students in the Migrant and Newcomer Programs are provided Language Acquisition and cultural supports in addition to their regular academic coursework. These supports are based on their English Language Proficiency Level (determined by both HLS, Primary Language Survey, and ELPAC scores).


Summer Opportunities and Supports

Summer Opportunities and Supports

Clovis Unified offers summer school programs in each of our five main high school areas that are designed to target the specific learning gaps of our students. Our summer school programs are designed with the mindset of helping students close achievement gaps and to accelerate their learning in the core content areas. 

Within the elementary level programs, we include specially designed Language Acquisition Block (LAB) times to ensure that our EL, Migrant, and Newcomer students are being provided with the skills needed to help develop the English language along with ample opportunities to interact with their peers. In grades 7-12, a specially designed Newcomer program offers students the opportunity to receive designated ELD supports and Language Acquisition supports to support and accelerate their development of the English language as well. 

Additionally, our Migrant and Newcomer students have the opportunity to receive school materials. 
 
Through our partnership with Fresno County Superintendent of Schools, our Migrant students may be offered additional opportunities throughout the year. More information about this program is sent out by our District Community Liaison as the registration date gets closer.
