English must be spoken in any class where it is the language of instruction. This includes Science, Social Studies, Language Arts, Writing, Journalism, Mathematics and Art. Students are expected to speak only English in these classes, and if they speak Spanish or any other language but English without the teacher’s permission, their report card grade may be lowered. Students speaking a language other than English in class will be warned. On the second infraction in the same class period, a point will be deducted from their quarterly grade average in that class. There is no limit to the number of points that may be deducted, but if 5 or more points are to be deducted from the next report card grade, the teacher must contact and inform parents
