📣 ELL leaders, we know the uncertainty is real right now.

With shifting Department of Ed decisions and funding questions up in the air, it’s hard to plan for next year—let alone two.

But here’s the thing: your ELL program doesn’t have to stay in limbo.
We’re offering a 2-year School Partnership License to help you lock in stability now—with a limited-time offer of 40% off the second year when paid upfront.

✅ Guaranteed access for this year and next
✅ Keep everything through the summer
✅ Transferable licenses for staff changes
✅ Over 300+ scaffolded lesson plans, PD, and live support

If you're a school leader (or want to tag one 👀), now is the time to bring clarity, consistency, and confidence to your team.

👉 DM me “QUOTE” and I’ll send you the link for your custom estimate

Let’s take the guesswork out of supporting our multilingual learners—starting now. 💪
