Case Study
Bilingual Program Support
for East Aurora School District 131
The Challenge
East Aurora School District 131, located in the Midwest, faced a critical challenge within their Bilingual Department: the need for an efficient system to track and document the progress of students enrolled in their bilingual programs. With a large and diverse student population, it was essential for teachers to have quick and easy access to each student’s progress, enabling timely interventions and support where needed. The district required a solution that would not only be functional but also align with the specific needs of a bilingual program.
Title: Educational Printing Programs
Industry: K12 School District
Geography: Midwest
Department: Bilingual Department
Frequency: Annually
Project: Color-Coordinated Folders for Student Progress Tracking
The Solution
Proforma Awards, Print, and Promotions developed a tailored solution to meet the unique needs of the East Aurora School District 131’s Bilingual Department through their Sourcing, Printing, and Drop-Shipping services. Understanding the importance of having a consistent and reliable system, Proforma worked closely with the district to design and produce specialized folders that would serve as living documents for tracking student progress.
The project involved printing the folders on color-coordinated stock, with each color representing a different level or stage in the student’s bilingual journey. This color-coding system allowed teachers to quickly identify a student’s current level, making it easier to provide appropriate interventions and support. The folders were printed with black ink to ensure clarity and ease of use, and their design adhered to the familiar format of a standard file folder, making them intuitive for teachers to integrate into their existing organizational systems.
To ensure that the folders were readily available across the district, Proforma handled the logistics of drop-shipping the printed materials to multiple locations within the district. This approach not only streamlined the distribution process but also ensured that each school within the district received the materials in a timely manner, ready for use at the beginning of the academic year.
The Outcome
The implementation of the color-coordinated folder system provided the Bilingual Department at East Aurora School District 131 with a much-needed tool to track student progress effectively. By having a clear and organized system in place, teachers were able to quickly assess each student’s level, enabling them to provide timely and targeted interventions to support their academic growth.
The success of this project underscored Proforma Awards, Print, and Promotions’ ability to deliver customized educational printing solutions that address specific challenges within the K12 environment. By focusing on the needs of the district and delivering a practical, user-friendly solution, Proforma played a key role in enhancing the effectiveness of the district’s bilingual program.
