Students with heritage language speaking skills (in French, German or Spanish) and who desire to study this language should contact the foreign language department prior to enrolling for proper level placement based on listening, speaking, reading and writing abilities. Truly fluent heritage speakers are encouraged to study another language thus increasing their language skills.
Students who speak Spanish as their primary language may enroll in the Spanish for Heritage Speakers class at the high schools. If course is not available, placement tests will be offered to determine correct placement in Spanish or another foreign language course.
Los estudiantes de habla español como su idioma principal pueden inscribirse en la clase para hispanohablantes en las escuelas sedundarias. Si no se ofrece esta clase, pruebas de nivel se ofrecerán a estos estudiantes para determinar la ubicación correcta en español o en otra clase de idioma.
