Students Receiving the State Seal of Biliteracy

A message from our Superintendent...

“One of the many assets of the Central Valley of California is the diversity of its population. Many of our citizens and neighbors represent international cultures and speak a variety of languages. The Stanislaus County Office of Education applauds students with mastery in multiple languages. The State Seal of

Biliteracy recognizes those students who have developed proficiency in English and at least one other world language. This proficiency enhances a student’s education and value in the market place. Our economy is tied to that of other nations, and Californians who can participate across international borders bring strength and potential to this State’s global enterprises.”

"Una de las ventajas más grandes del Valle Central de California es la diversidad de su población. Muchos de nuestros ciudadanos y vecinos representan culturas internacionales y hablan varios idiomas. La Oficina de Educación del Condado de Stanislaus felicita a los estudiantes que dominan varios idiomas. El Sello de competencia multilingüe reconoce a aquellos estudiantes que han desarrollado el dominio del Inglés y lo hace más valioso comercialmente. Esta habilidad mejora la educación de un estudiante y le da valor en el mercado. Nuestra economía está ligada a la de otras naciones, y los californianos que pueden participar cruzando las fronteras internacionales aportan fuerza y potencial a las empresas mundiales de este estado.”

Thank you to all of the participating districts for the courage to undertake this endeavor.
