7th Grade Scheduling

As you probably have heard, there is a boat load of graduation requirements that are mandated by the State. One of those requirements is that you must have two years of a foreign language. We offer the exact same Spanish I that is offered at SCHS. Same course, same exams, same class. It counts as one of the required years and this coming year (for the first time) the student's grade will count toward their high school GPA. If at all possible....do your child a favor and sign them up for Spanish in 8th grade. I know there are some other things to consider. Maybe you want them to have French (the other option at SCHS), maybe you feel that they aren't quite mature enough yet to handle a very rigorous class. But if at all possible, taking this class at SCMS helps to open up their schedule (a little) once they get to SCHS. Talk it over with your child, but again....if at all possible, taking it now will help in the long run.
