Students who take Beginning Mandarin (Mandarin I) and Intermediate Mandarin (Mandarin II) may skip Chinese I in high school and start at Chinese II. Students who have also taken Advanced Mandarin (Mandarin III) may also take a placement test to place into Chinese III.
Students who take Spanish A and Spanish B will have the opportunity to move into Spanish II in the high school. If they take Spanish B in 8th grade they do not need to take a placement test, however if Spanish B is taken in 7th grade a test will be taken to see if students have retained the requisite skills and knowledge.
