SEAL OF BILITERACY DISTINCTIONS ANNOUNCED FOR CHAGRIN FALLS SCHOOLS

World language teachers at Chagrin Falls Schools have developed and implemented a successful  K-12 world language program that acknowledges and reinforces language proficiency and cultural awareness by encouraging students’ proficiency in multiple world languages. The state of Ohio recently passed a law allowing a Seal of Biliteracy to be affixed to high school diplomas.   This prestigious designation means that the student is proficient in two languages (one is English) after taking a nationally normed assessment (AAPPL).  Students must score at a proficiency level of at least Intermediate High in all four modes of the tested language, which indicates that they would be able to effectively use their language skills in a business or professional  setting.  

AP World Language teachers Laurie Walsh (Spanish), Lisa Fetterman (Spanish), Anita Boumitri (French), and Yan Guo (Chinese), are pleased to announce that the following seniors have earned this distinction and will wear an honorary red cord at graduation.
