World Languages – A student in 8th grade can elect to retake Spanish 1 or French 1 if they struggled in 7th grade.  They would be in a mixed 7th and 8th grade class during their 8th grade year; and they will still earn 1 credit of Spanish or French.  Students/Adults should discuss this with their World Language teacher before choosing this option.

 

World Languages – A student in 8th grade could also take “the other” language.  For instance, they could take Spanish 1b and also sign up for French 1 if their schedule has the room.
