Open Forum to Discuss Spanish Language Instruction at BHE

Thursday, June 10^th, 6:00 pm
Barton Hills Elementary Library

In the spring PTA Budget Survey, there was overwhelming parent feedback regarding the desire to have a Spanish Teacher on campus.  If you are a parent interested in the implementation of Spanish Language instruction at Barton Hills Elementary, please join us June 10^th.   We will be discussing the many challenges involved with introducing a foreign language class not supported by the school district.

Our timeline follows:

• Program Investigation and Planning: 2010–2011 school year.
• Potential Program Implementation: 2011–2012 school year.

We need enthusiastic parents willing to serve on an exploratory committee. Let’s come together, investigate, lay groundwork, and determine whether we can pull this off!  Kati Achtermann and PTA board members will be present.  Please contact me with any questions or concerns.

We look forward to talking with you!
