FCPS would like to welcome Mrs. Zuleyne Izquierdo into her new role as the District Coordinator for English Learner Programs and the Connection Resources Center. Mrs. Izquierdo previously served as an assistant principal at Hugh Mercer Elementary School.
She says, "This work is deeply personal to me. English is also my second language, and my own journey as a multilingual learner continues to shape how I view education, equity, and the importance of belonging in our schools."
In her role as District Coordinator for English Learner Programs, she partners closely with schools and departments to ensure strong, compliant, and student-centered English Learner programming. Her work focuses on instructional alignment, service delivery, monitoring, documentation, and professional collaboration so that multilingual learners have equitable access to high-quality instruction. She supports schools in navigating identification, services, assessment, and monitoring requirements while keeping students’ academic growth and language development at the center of every decision.
Through the Connection Resources Center, Mrs. Izquierdo works alongside a dedicated team that supports multilingual and newcomer families, where relationships and family engagement are at the heart of our efforts. Their goal is to support multilingual and newcomer students and families as they transition into our school community.
She says, "Together, we focus on building trust, strengthening communication, and helping families navigate school systems with confidence." The team also connects families to school and community resources so they feel welcomed, supported, and empowered to advocate for their children.
What Is the Connection Resource Center?
The Fredericksburg City Public Schools (FCPS) Connection Resources Center (CRC) serves as a centralized support hub for multilingual students and families transitioning into FCPS. Established in 2023 and housed at the Walker-Grant Center, the CRC operates under the Department of Teaching and Learning and is supervised by the Director of Student Programs.
The CRC’s mission is to strengthen family engagement, support student adjustment, and remove barriers to access by providing culturally and linguistically responsive support. The CRC team collaborates closely with schools, families, and community partners to assist with enrollment, communication, and connection to school and community resources, with a particular focus on supporting newcomer and multilingual families.
