Placement Policy for 8th Grade Foreign Language Courses:

The student must meet the following criteria: A grade of ‘B’ or better in Language Arts classes in 6th and 7th grades. A grade of ‘C’ or better as a cumulative average in all subjects in 6th and 7th grades. Placement in 8th grade foreign language is considered an advanced placement class*. It is important that the student be prepared for the extra demands of a sixth, year-long academic class which will have semester and year-end assessments. Placement in high school Spanish / German II is contingent upon attaining a C or better in the class and satisfactory completion of an end-of-year assessment. *High School Credit will be received for a passing grade AND this course will count towards your HS GPA.
