Dear 7th Grade parents/guardians:
It's time to think about signing your student up for Spanish I for 8th grade. This class is offered as a full-year course for RMS 8th graders, taught in conjunction with the World Language program at Spaulding High School.
Students who complete Spanish 1 successfully (“B” or better for an overall grade) at RMS can go directly into Spanish 2 upon entry during their Freshman year at SHS. Students who receive an overall grade of "C" will need teacher recommendation for Spanish 2.
This course is for students who love learning about Language and Culture! It is an Academic course that includes note taking, homework, projects, quizzes and exams, as well as an expectation for active participation in class.
Students interested in signing up for this class will need to have taken Spanish class in 6th or 7th grade and passed with an overall end of trimester grade of either Competent or Exceeds Competent. Forms are available outside of Room 176 and the cafeteria. Signed forms are due by Friday, May 23rd.
Questions and interest should be directed to:

Gracias,
Mrs. Verville
