Navigating New Beginnings: Support for Non-English Speaking Families
Welcome! Bienvenido! Bienvenue! Karibu! Starting school in a new country can feel like a big adventure. It can feel nerve-wracking for young learners, but it doesn't have to be that way. There’s help. At Union Colony Schools (UCS), we ensure every family feels right at home from day one, no matter where they come from or what language they speak. We are a tuition-free charter program serving grades K-12 on two campuses in Greeley and Evans, Colorado, and welcome all families.
Our faculty understands the unique challenges faced by non-English-speaking students. Culture worries, difficulty absorbing information, anxiety about feeling like an “other”—we get it. That’s why we offer extensive support to ensure parents and students are comfortable when they enroll in our community. Our programs bridge communication gaps and provide a smooth transition for everyone.
Bilingual Classes
We offer English-as-a-second-language classes taught by experienced, compassionate teachers. Our approach is nurturing, patient and supportive but also challenging to encourage students to excel beyond what they thought possible. We know they can thrive, and motivate them to do so!
In the Community
UCS is a part of the larger community just as much as it is a place to learn. We regularly host events to bring together families from all backgrounds to celebrate diversity. From our annual carnival to our Spring concerts, each event is designed with language inclusivity in mind, ensuring non-English-speaking families feel welcomed and valued.
Resources and Guidance Every Step of the Way
Our multilingual staff is ready to help with enrollment forms, parent-teacher meetings, and other school-related processes. We’re happy to guide you through every step, ensuring you have all the information you need to make your family’s educational journey easy. Our website is also available in English, Spanish, Cantonese, French, German and more!
Empowering Parents
Parents are partners in education. That’s why we provide resources and workshops that empower you to participate actively in your child’s schooling. From learning how to support homework routines to understanding the school system, we equip you with the tools to be a part of your child’s educational path. And, of course, if YOU need help, we’re just a phone call or e-mail away.
We’re excited to welcome new families to the UCS school community. Come see how our supportive environment and dedicated staff can help your child thrive.
