Arabic Placement Testing

It is highly recommended that any student with prior experience with Arabic - no matter how little - schedule a placement conversation on Microsoft Teams with Mrs. Chaaban prior to March 30th, 2024. This placement meeting helps you find a good fit for your language class so you are engaged at the appropriate level.

No preparation is required for this meeting, but please be ready to turn on your camera and actively participate in this 1:1 meeting.
