Whitewater Unified School District Expanding Adult English as a Second Language Prograg

According to an update from the Whitewater Unified School District, they are extending their adult English as a Second Language program to include free daytime English classes. The classes will be on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 10 a.m. until noon at the Whitewater Community Space beginning today. Two levels are available and free childcare will be provided. There is a materials cost of $25. The classes are for adults in the surrounding area who would like to improve their English skills. The adult English program has been running successfully at the Whitewater High School and offers four levels of English and free childcare on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. In addition, special classes have been added for pronunciation, technology, and the U.S. citizenship test. The program also engages its families in outreach activities to help them get acquainted with resources in the community. Funding for these classes is provided by the Whitewater Unified School District, United Way, area churches and organizations, and private donors.
