Home Language Survey

This is a step required by the State of Texas.

HOME LANGUAGE SURVEY (HLS)
19 TAC Chapter 89, Subchapter BB, 89.1215 (Home Language Survey only administered during initial enrollment in Texas public schools)

To be completed by Parent or Guardian for students enrolling in Prekindergarten* through grade 8 (or by students in grades 9-12).  
* Prekindergarten includes any student enrolling in a 3- or 4-year-old school program.

The state of Texas requires that the following information be completed for each student who enrolls in a Texas public school for the first time. It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian, not the school, to provide the language information requested by filling out the questionnaire linked below.

Please note: Parents must turn in a home language survey within 5 days of enrollment.

Select the link with the Home Language Survey in the language your child or family uses. Then, fill out  the form, save it, and upload it as a supporting document for the enrollment process. 

If your responses indicate the use of a language other than English, the school will conduct a language proficiency assessment to determine how well your child communicates in English. This information will be used to determine any appropriate linguistic supports and informs instructional recommendations.
