Hello Eckstein Families,

Currently, Seattle Public Schools is in the process of adopting a new curriculum for Japanese and French.  This is the first time we are undergoing a curriculum adoption in these two subject areas in almost 20 years.  We encourage you to visit our district web site to learn more about the curriculum adoption.  You can do so here: http://www.seattleschools.org/area/curriculumalign/wladoption_index.html.  There is a survey on the web site which we would also encourage you to complete.  We welcome the feedback.  Also, you will have an opportunity to see the curriculum at Eckstein in the coming weeks.  From 02/23, the Eckstein Library will have the materials on display for you to see.

If you have specific questions, please feel free to speak with French teacher Trina D’Angelo about French and Japanese teacher Kurt Thompson or Assistant Principal Chris Cronas about Japanese.  All three staff members are on the curriculum adoption committee and are quite familiar with the materials .

Thank you,

Eckstein World Languages Department
