In order to satisfy the Dual Language Immersion (DLI) program requirements, 6th grade students must take two classes, World Language (Chinese or Spanish) (1 Unit) AND a year-long Social Studies/World Culture class (1 Unit). 7th Grade students will take only the World Language class (Chinese or Spanish) (1 Unit). The language class is an elective course. 

​

This means that in standard cases, DLI students will not be able to take other elective classes unless they drop classes that are required by the Utah State Board of Education and the Washington County School District.

 

Parents are the ultimate decision makers when it comes to the classes students take at school. If you desire your student to drop a required class to take an elective, counselors are happy to work with you to create a schedule that works for you and your child.  

 

These required classes are as follows and dropping them does not require any make up as long as we have the parent permission form:

 

6th Grade: Coding & PE 6 (.5 unit each)

​

7th Grade: Utah Studies and Health/PE 7 (.5 unit each) 

​​

If you would like to make these substitutions, you can do so on the registration form. Follow the instructions found there. If you wish to talk to your counselor about elective options for your student, please let us know on the comments in the registration form.

 

Some things parents should be aware of...

​

DLI students who are below grade level in reading, need academic or English language support, fail to maintain passing grades, or have poor attendance may be asked to drop the program so that they can receive the necessary support classes to be successful here and in the future. 

​

We will communicate with parents in any of these cases so that you can be a part of the decision-making process.
