Can your child speak, read and write in a language other than English?  This spring there will be an opportunity for 8th graders who are fluent in another language to take an on-line test called the Avant Assessment.  Students who demonstrate on this test that they can speak, read and write in another language can earn high school credit.  If you are interested in your child taking advantage of this opportunity, please visit the Jason Lee office to sign up.  Please note that students who are currently enrolled in the Mandarin Immersion program at Jason Lee do not need to sign up for the Avant Assessment because those students will already be taking this test during their Mandarin class.  If you have any questions, please contact Cheryl Miller at 313-3500 or Cheryl.miller@vansd.org.
