The pilot will be located at Canyon Lake Elementary School.
The Lakota Language Immersion program will be taught entirely in the Lakota language – with the exception of RCAS specials classes, including STEAM, physical education, and music – with an emphasis on Lakota culture, heritage, and values. Parents will be strongly encouraged to take advantage of opportunities to learn the language alongside their child, as language reinforcement at home is an important component to this program.
Space is limited; during the first year of the pilot, 20 students will be able to enroll. If interest exceeds the available capacity, a random lottery will be conducted. If the lottery process is needed, parents will receive more information about that process.
