Greetings All,
I hope you have a restful Christmas Break!
Dual Language in Jr. High and Beyond??
Still, at this point, there is no definite yes or no. Our next step is to hold an informational meeting with current 5th-Grade parents, students, and any Dual Language staff that want to attend. The meeting is scheduled for January 9, 2020. I will let you know the location when it is confirmed. Parent flyers and notifications will go out to all 5th-grade DL parents.
