HOME LANGUAGE SURVEY


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.

Part One:
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 the questions below.

Dear Parent or Guardian:


Please answer the questions below about the languages your child or family uses. 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 inform
instructional recommendations. If you have questions about the purpose and use of the Home
Language Survey, or you would like assistance in completing the form, please contact your
school/district personnel.
This survey shall be kept in each student’s permanent record folder. A copy of this survey shall
follow the student while enrolled in any public or open enrolled charter school in Texas.
