Class Activities and Assignments:

I use Google Classroom in my classes. Parents can use their child’s credentials to log in and stay up-to-date on what we are doing in class. Google Classroom will be used daily to post materials needed for classwork activities, homework assignments, study resources and assessment reminders.

gold seal with CT state emblem and red ribbon and white stars that reads "Connecticut Seal Biliteracy"

Seal of Biliteracy

The Connecticut State Seal of Biliteracy was established in 2017 to recognize public high school graduates who have attained a level of proficiency in English and one or more languages. 

Proficiency is determined through scoring on one of several state approved assessment tools such as the Oral Proficiency Interview (OPI) or the Advanced Placement Exam. Students meeting the criteria for biliteracy receive a seal affixed to their diploma and to their high school transcript. 

The marker is useful to both employers and to colleges and universities. It helps to identify students with verified multilingual skills.
