❓ DID YOU KNOW?

The Springfield School District has announced proposed changes that would eliminate the Dual Immersion pathway at the middle school and high school levels.

For many families, this came as a surprise because students enrolled in the program with the expectation that they would be able to continue their bilingual education from elementary school through graduation.

Why does this matter?

Dual Immersion programs do more than teach students a second language. They help students become bilingual and biliterate, strengthen academic skills, create future career opportunities, and help children stay connected to their culture and heritage.

The Springfield School Board will meet on Monday, June 8, at 7:00 PM at 640 A Street in Springfield.

Students, parents, educators, alumni, and community members are encouraged to attend. Even if you don’t plan to speak, your presence matters. A room full of community members sends a powerful message that bilingualism, education, and opportunities for our students are important.

❤️ Together, our voices are stronger. When communities come together, positive change is possible.

📚❓ ¿SABÍAS QUE?

El Distrito Escolar de Springfield anunció cambios propuestos que eliminarían el programa de Inmersión Dual en secundaria y preparatoria.

Para muchas familias, esta noticia fue una sorpresa, ya que inscribieron a sus hijos con la expectativa de que podrían continuar su educación bilingüe desde la primaria hasta la graduación.

¿Por qué es importante?

Los programas de Inmersión Dual hacen mucho más que enseñar un segundo idioma. Ayudan a los estudiantes a ser bilingües y alfabetizados en dos idiomas, fortalecen sus habilidades académicas, les abren más oportunidades en el futuro y les permiten mantener una conexión con su cultura y sus raíces.

La reunión de la Junta Escolar de Springfield será este lunes 8 de junio a las 7:00 p.m. en 640 A Street, Springfield.

Se invita a estudiantes, padres, maestros, exalumnos y miembros de la comunidad a asistir. Aunque no planee hablar, su presencia importa. Una sala llena demuestra que nuestra comunidad valora el bilingüismo, la educación y las oportunidades para nuestros estudiantes.

❤️ Entre todos podemos hacer la diferencia. Cuando una comunidad se une, sí se pueden lograr cambios.
