[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]FYI APS Middle Schools no longer offer 6th graders a language. They have to wait until 7th. This was new last year- a HUGE bummer.[/quote]

[b]That’s not correct; TJ and HB do start with a world language in 6th grade and it’s not optional. [/b]  
The other MS currently offer a short elective type-course in 6th and then truly start in 7th.

We are moving to Arlington and kid will start at TJ for 7th, will they be far behind in language because everyone else started in 6th already?  Or will they put them in the 6th grade class as a 7th grader?[/quote]

That’s a good question. Were you able to make it to information night?   The staff appears very accessible and to have each student’s best interest in mind. Realistically, if they don’t have any foreign language background at all, they would have to start at the beginning, so I would assume in the class with the 6th graders, but I would check directly with them.[/quote]
