World Language department outlines new offerings, summer trip and digital resources
Summary
The district's World Language presentation highlighted a new Heritage Spanish class, a planned French trip to Montreal/Quebec in Summer 2026, a new Spanish teacher for 2026–27 (Caridad Salinas), and subscriptions such as El Mundo en Tus Manos and Garbanzo to support instruction.
Mrs. Liz Eiss told the Board the World Language Department is expanding offerings and resources to support student language acquisition, citing the inaugural Heritage Spanish class and a French trip planned for Summer 2026 to Montreal/Quebec. She also noted a new Spanish teacher hire for 2026–27, Caridad Salinas, and invited continued Board support for department resources.
Eiss listed instructional subscriptions approved or in use: "El Mundo en Tus Manos," Scholastic magazines/readers, Conjuguemos, EdPuzzle, the Language Lab (used for speaking/listening and ACCESS testing), and a new Garbanzo subscription. The Board later approved the Garbanzo LLC software license for 2026–2027 in the amount of $3,992.00 during the consent agenda.
