[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My rising 9th grader does not have language on her schedule, even though she she selected one. does this mean she might begin foreign language next semester?[/quote]

Students generally iron out scheduling issues with their guidance counselors in the first week of school. It can be chaotic, and I imagine it feels particularly daunting for 9th graders since they are new to the school.

I will say that the process for seniors is new and improved this year—seniors had meetings with their GCs in the last two weeks to review and fix schedules—which gives me some hope that it will be better for other grades, as well. She should be prepared to go speak with her GC and know what she wants to request. In fact, I’d recommend having your daughter email her GC now (you can find her assigned GC on the guidance department page on the school website) and say that she does not have a foreign language scheduled and needs guidance on how to ensure she is placed in the appropriate language and level. If nothing else, the GC might recognize her name when she follows up in person.

If after the first few days of school your daughter doesn’t feel like she’s been able to make any progress on getting this fixed, then you should get involved.[/quote]
