Our dual language program is an incredible opportunity for our students.  Please indicate your understanding and  commitment to this program by reading and checking each box of the following statements.
We understand the dual program is an 80-20 model and that students entering kindergarten will receive the majority of their instruction in Spanish, with Spanish continuing as the main language of instruction until 4th grade.

As a family, we will support and encourage the acquisition of Spanish by attending school events, parent-teacher conferences and communicating with classroom teacher. *

Because this program focuses on ensuring that students develop skills in Spanish, materials for practice at home will be in Spanish. In the event that we do not speak Spanish at home,  English support at home will be provided to the extent possible. *
