Provo School District offers a variety of languages in several elementary schools using the Dual Language Immersion Program. First graders are invited to enroll in Spanish at Canyon Crest and Timpanogos Elementary Schools, French at Edgemont Elementary School, German at Lakeview Elementary School and Mandarin Chinese at Wasatch Elementary School. Dual Language Immersion has students learning half of the school day in English and the other half in the target language. By the time the student reaches sixth grade he or she will be fluent in the target language.
Below is a list of time and dates in which parent meetings will take place across the district to enroll first grade students for the 2012-2013 school year. Please call the school you are interested in for more information.
- Canyon Crest Elementary - Thursday, February 9 at 7 p.m.
- Edgemont Elementary - Thursday, February 2 at 7 p.m.
- Lakeview Elementary - Wednesday, January 25 at 7 p.m.
- Timpanogos Elementary - Thursday, March 8 at 7 p.m.
- Wasatch Elementary - Wednesday, February 1 at 7 p.m.
Also, for you Westridge families, Principal Anderson is still moving forward with creating a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) immersion program at Westridge. He is investigating STEM magnet schools and teacher training programs in Minnesota this week. The great thing about his STEM model, is that all 4-6 graders could participate, rather than just those that start in 1st grade with language. If you would like to help him investigate, create and fund a STEM program at Westridge, I am sure he would be grateful for your help.
