What is the Transitional Bilingual Education Program (TBIP)?
This program is designed to meet the needs of students whose primary language is something other than English and have demonstrated a need for additional support. Funding for this program comes from both the State of Washington and the Federal Government.

For more information on the Transitional Bilingual Education Program in Washington State, visit Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.

How do I get assistance in the Ellensburg School District if I don't speak English?
It is always acceptable to communicate to us in the language you are most comfortable with and we will find a way to translate it. We also have Spanish-speaking interpreters to help our families. Email links and phone numbers for Diana.

Want help learning English or getting a basic translation?
