INTERVENTIONS & DISCIPLINE ●I take my responsibility to teach you Spanish very seriously! It is very important to me that we work together as a team to make the classroom run smoothly and that everyone in the room is treated with respect at all times (especially you!). With a positive attitude, we will have so much fun on our language learning journey. However, when we need to be reminded about our common goals, I may change your seat to give you a fresh start, use an out-of-class refocus, ISI downstairs for the remainder of the period, lunch detention or a phone call or email home. At the end of a student’s 8th grade year, they will take a test written by the Tempe Union High School District. If proficiency is demonstrated on the exam is shown, they will receive credit for Spanish 1-2. This year will be the first year that a newly written test is administered. Additional information about the test will be passed on as it becomes available. The most important thing between now and then is to study and work hard!
