Today, students took the reading and listening portions. One student has already passed the reading test (way to go, Lydia! š). Yesterday Mrs. McCartyās Spanish 3 and 4 students practiced listening and speaking, with conversations about daily life, such as food, hobbies, routines, and more. Students created their own questions after listening to Spanish recordings, helping deepen their understanding and build confidence.
Next, they shift to the writing section, where students will use everyday vocabulary to share their thoughts and opinions. āØ
We have 27 students participating in this cycle. Five are current Spanish 3 and 4 students, while the remainder are native Spanish speakers. Another testing session will be available in the spring.
Students who achieve the Seal of Biliteracy receive:
š A seal on their diploma
š A note on their transcript
š Golden and red cords at graduation
šA boost in future job and academic opportunities.
Weāre proud of our students for challenging themselves and building skills that will benefit them for life! šš
The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. We believe in being transparent and making sure every family knows what to expect in case of an emergency. Please take a moment to review this letter outlining our reunification procedures , which are the steps weād follow to safely reunite students and families after an emergency.

This project will allow extra room for mowers, golf carts and people to utilize that section of ground ššŗš¶āāļø. It could also become part of the cross country course that has been created on the opposite end of the pond šāāļøš³.
The platform is going to be a cantilever style with a handrail and ramps on each end š§°š.
The goal for all PBL/WBL students is to attain 300 hours of successful employment and be considered career ready at graduation šš¼. Those students who are career ready receive a notation on their diploma and a cord to wear at graduation šļøš.
