David Green, principal of Anne Chestnut Middle School, presented the school's two choice options for Cumberland County students: a year-round calendar and a Spanish immersion program, and encouraged families to visit the district's choice programs website for application details.

Green said the year-round calendar uses quarterly rotations of nine weeks in school followed by three-week intersessions. "The benefits of the year round calendar include an increase in overall instructional days for students, a reduction in the amount of instructional review time after intersession, and regular social, mental, and emotional resets, which reduce fatigue and stress," he said. He added that the schedule "still allows students all of the same extracurricular opportunities, such as clubs, athletics, and field trips that are provided at traditional schools."

On the Spanish immersion option, Green said the program is offered to students who participated in a Spanish immersion program at the elementary level and who want to "complete the necessary requirements for attaining all of their foreign language high school credits." He described the program as offering exposure to other cultural perspectives and said it "builds an appreciation for cultural diversity." "Our students conclude the program with advanced Spanish language comprehension skills," he said.

Green also stated that Anne Chestnut students "collectively" achieved "one of the highest AAPPL proficiency scores ever recorded in the district." That performance claim is attributed to Green and is not independently verified in the transcript.

For families interested in applying, Green directed them to the district's choice programs website. He closed his remarks by saying, "I choose CCS."
