Nobody’s perfect! But we can all learn and improve. The goal of French is to be able to communicate through reading, listening, speaking and writing. In order for students to focus and learn, they will be asked to put their phones away during class. 10858506985Parent/Adult Initials00Parent/Adult Initials-1809756985Student Initials00Student InitialsClasswork?: There will be assignments due every week.
