Welcome Back Larsen Roadrunners
Bienvenidos Familias de Larsen
Welcome to 26-27 School Year
Dual Language Immersion Program
We are proud to be in our fourth year of our Dual Language Immersion Program.
Dual language immersion is a research-proven instructional approach that prepares students to think, read, and write in two languages, resulting in students becoming bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural.
Dual Language Immersion programs are additive, meaning that a child does not lose their native language but instead strengthens their native language and adds a second language.
Bilingualism and biliteracy prepare students to think more broadly and critically, results in higher language arts and math achievement, and increase career pathways opportunities in adulthood.
Ansgar Larsen’s Dual Language Program follows a 90/10 model. This model begins in Transitional Kindergarten with 90% of the academic instruction delivered in Spanish and 10% of the academic instruction delivered in English. This ratio is adjusted as students matriculate from grade to grade. For example: Kindergarten = 90% Spanish, 10% English. First grade = 80% Spanish, 20% English. Second Grade = 70% Spanish, 30% English. Third Grade = 60% Spanish, 40% English. Fourth Grade = 50% Spanish, 50% English. Fifth Grade = 50% Spanish, 50% English.
The 90/10 model requires a closely aligned curricular program where instruction in key content areas such as language arts and math so that the skills are not retaught in both languages but are built upon in each language.

Safety First
Safety First
Safety is our number one priority at Larsen. Please do not park in the roundabout in front or back of the school during morning and afternoon drop-off and pick-up. The Parking lots are for district staff and individuals who need accessible parking only, except for the labeled visitor parking spots. We recommend you park in the street and walk up to pick up your child.
If you use the roundabout, you must drive through. If your child is not visible, you must drive out of the roundabout and re-enter on the street. There is NO PARKING on the roundabout.
The roundabout is a single-lane drive, and there is no passing on the left. Students are boarding and exiting vehicles.
Remember to use crosswalks and sidewalks when walking to campus. Please be respectful to staff as we work together to enforce safety for all. Thank you in advance for making our school safety a priority!
