The image shows Gloria, a character from Modern family, with long brown hair and a serious facial expression. She is wearing a patterned blue-green top and appears to be in a conversation or argument. The text overlaid on the image says, “Do you even know how smart I am in Spanish?”

"Language access" refers to ensuring that students who are not yet proficient in English can fully participate in school activities, allowing them to understand and engage with the educational system regardless of language abilities.

The image shows three copies of the book Ilíada by Homero, part of the Alma Clásicos Ilustrados series. The Spanish translation of “The Iliad”.  The book cover is orange with an illustration of two ancient Greek warriors in black, facing each other in combat. One holds a shield and spear, while the other wields a spear. Below the title, the cover notes that the illustrations are by Antonio Santos. The books are stacked on a wooden surface.

This is your reminder to do something to recharge this weekend. Watching the sun setting in Rhode Island was how I “plugged” in to Nature. ¡No te olvides de hacer algo para recargarte este fin de semana! Ver el atardecer en Rhode Island es como yo conecté con la naturaleza. #EduSky #ElSky

This image shows a vibrant sunset over the ocean, with shades of orange, yellow, and pink blending into the sky, scattered with dark clouds. The sun is setting on the horizon, casting a golden glow across the water. In the foreground, there is a rocky jetty where a silhouette of a person stands, gazing out at the scene. To the right, a few other figures are visible near the shore, enjoying the view. The scene captures a peaceful and reflective moment by the sea.
