    Please note:  Depending on the student’s current language proficiency level, previous grade level expectations must be met before proceeding with more challenging academic material, therefore, some student will NOT be learning material that is NOT at their current grade level. Prior educational experiences, school attendance, and mastery of skills all contribute to the students’ overall placement and success. All aforementioned curricula is an overview of the skills that are being taught.
