[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is Silver Creek the only school where you don't have a choice? If your child doesn't need remedial reading, they have to take a language (1A/1B) in 6th grade. There is no other choice. It is an IB middle school. It doesn't seem like the material is going that fast TBH. Just curious. [/quote] SSIMS seems to offer 1A/B to all 6th graders who are above grade level in reading. There is no 1A only option. But, I don't know if students are required to take it. They can probably take digital literacy if they want, even if they are reading above grade level. I can't comment on the value of digital literacy, as none of the kids we know took it. They all took French or Spanish 1A/B, or are in immersion language classes. SSIMS already offers two electives in addition to language due to the 8 period block schedule. But maybe they would let a kid take a third elective rather than world language. SSIMS is also an IB school.[/quote]
