On October 3, 2024, South Pasadena Middle School (SPMS) hosted an English Language Development (ELD) Night for parents and families of English learners. During the event, families enjoyed dinner together and a presentation from SPMS ELD teachers, Mrs. Atoyan and Mrs. Ryu, highlighting the ELD program and roadmap to reclassification. Students were recognized for reclassifying, which means they acquired English language proficiency and their designation has changed from English learner status to fluent English proficient status. 

Congratulations to all the SPMS students who have recently achieved English language proficiency including Li-heng (Emily) Chen, Hayeon Lee, Carlos Liu, Andrea Cano Prieto, Maria Rodriguez, Hannah Shen, Eliot Yang, Leo Yang, Sophia Yang, and Hyle Yoo.

Go, Tiger Cubs!
