As we begin a new school year, I wanted to make sure you are aware of the expectations in my class as your child starts the process of learning a new language. Over the years, I have identified a few issues that can cause a student to struggle in the course: disorganization, absences, and failure to adequately study for exams. Nearly every student who has not been as successful as they wished has been able to chalk it up to one or more of these problems. As a result, I have provided a Rubric below to give you as much information as possible about our Spanish class.
