Abstract	Like many relatively affluent suburban schools, James E. Daly Elementary in Montgomery County, Maryland, has seen a rapid increase in its Hispanic and bilingual student populations. Many of the school's English language learners come from low-income, immigrant families. Zimmerman-Orozco, the school's assistant principal, describes the strategies the school has developed to reach out to Hispanic parents and make them full partners, including monthly Hispanic parent meetings, after-school activities, a summer enrichment program run by staff volunteers, and frequent home visits. Although these practices make a difference, she writes, the key to the school's success is "the match between the school's core commitment to creating a welcoming school climate and nurturing personal relationships and the traditional Hispanic styles of interaction."
