Letter to Parents/Guardians

Dear Parent/ Guardian:

The purpose of this letter is to give you important information about our 8th grade foreign language program.

All 8th grade French and Spanish students must take a test called the NYS Second Language Proficiency Exam,  Passing this exam gives the student one high school credit in foreign language study and meets the basic requirement for graduation.  However, if a student fails the exam, she/he must repeat the course in high school and earn a passing final grade.

In short, in order to graduate from high school in New York State, students must either pass the NYS Second Language Exam in 8th grade, or pass a foreign language class at a high school.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call 294-2470 and ask to speak with Mrs. Vigna or Mrs. Chapman

                                                                            Sincerely,

                                                                            Mrs. Vigna & Mrs. Chapman
