We would like ...

We have asked for all digital access, with no physical texts being purchased as a
means of saving money. A cost estimate has been provided by Klett that would
cover both high schools and the 4 middle schools for both languages.

However, it would be beneficial to have, at the very least, a classroom set for each
teacher, in the event that we would have an internet outage, or that we would
have a student who has a need for a physical textbook at home.



Summary

We are very optimistic that large numbers of students and
their families will continue to see the long term value and
advantages of Foreign Language learning.

We feel that both the Mapas and Reporters Francophones
series will keep our students engaged and, as passionate
teachers, will help us to achieve our FL learning goals.
