Spanish for Spanish Speakers
Is your child a fluent Spanish speaker? If so, your child is eligible to take a course in high school called Spanish for Spanish Speakers. This is an accelerated course where students can receive four foreign language credits in two years. In order to take the class, students must show they can understand and be understood in Spanish by taking a placement test. The Spanish for Spanish Speakers Placement test will be given during school on November 19th. If your student did not receive a letter notifying them about the test, and you would like your student to take the placement test, please sign up here. As a reminder, the test does not award any high school credit. If you have any questions, please contact our Testing Facilitator, Laura Josefsson, at 281-234-2197 or LauraWJosefsson@katyisd.org
