15. Parental ConcernsD. Field TripsIt is inevitable that situations will occasionally arise whereby a parent will beconfused as to the circumstances surrounding a student grade or disciplinary actiontaken by a teacher. As truthful as students are likely to be about these matters,their version of the events may not always reflect the circumstances which only theteacher can attest to.Therefore, we ask that you follow the following process when you seek more clarityon something which you may question or dispute. First, contact the teacher ratherthan the principal as the latter is likely not aware of the situation and would have tothus communicate with the teacher to become informed. If you are not satisfiedwith the explanation you receive from the teacher, then that would be the time tocontact the principal. Should you still not be comfortable with the resolution, youthen have the recourse to ask for the matter to be brought to the attention of theSchool Board.Field trips are an extension of the classroom and are designed to broaden the students’ learningthrough exposure to various educational, historical, social, or cultural events. For safety concerns, allchildren will remain in uniform as it makes them more identifiable to chaperones. The only exception wouldbe certain trips such as to the zoo or Blackberry Farm. Also, parent chaperones are required to have cellphones so all adults can remain in communication with the teachers should an emergency arise.All students who are in good standing with the discipline code are expected to participate.E. Foreign Language ProgramAll students are introduced to Spanish as a second language in second grade for 20 minutes once aweek. This introduction continues through the third grade. In fourth and fifth grade, students receive 45minutes of weekly instruction. Beginning in fifth grade, the students will receive an effort and achievementgrade at the end of the second and fourth quarters. A special after-school program called Spanish Ladders isavailable to students after school in kindergarten through second grade.Beginning in sixth grade, Spanish becomes an elective. From sixth through eighth grade, studentsare offered the opportunity to continue their Spanish studies. Students will take Spanish class 3 days perweek, and on the remaining days they will receive instruction in Technology, P.E., Music, or Art.Because of the academic requirements of this class, not all students are eligible to continue afterfifth grade and must be in good academic standing in the core curriculum.A fee of $200 is charged for those continuing in the program beyond fifth grade. Due to schedulingdifficulties, students enrolled in the foreign language program in the Jr. High may not drop the class after fiveschool days.1. Course DescriptionSpanish is an elective academic program with Honor Roll status for 6th, 7th, and 8th grades.Grades are weighted at 60%. All conversational, written and reading skills will be included in thestudent's academic grade. Student's attitude, effort, and cooperation are an important factor in astudent's academic achievement.29
