Peter J. Giacalone 6-12 World Languages Coordinator

Dear Student, Parent(s)/Guardian(s):

In order to support the growth of our students over the summer and continue to foster the transition in

World Languages Courses, we will continue with our commitment to develop a meaningful summer

review packet for your child. The packets are designed to review key concepts necessary for success,

not only for these courses, but also for future language courses.

As you know, the ability to communicate in a second language enables us to know the hopes, dreams

and visions of others around the world. The study of World Languages prepares today’s youth for

tomorrow’s opportunities by supporting basic skills instruction, the development of cross cultural

understanding and preparing our youth to enter the global marketplace. Language learning is a

cumulative process. It can be compared to constructing a building out of blocks: you keep building

on top of what you did the day before. If you don’t keep at the job steadily, pretty soon you’re trying

to put new blocks on top of an empty space. Therefore, it is important to keep up with and learn what

is being presented to you about a language day by day.

Should your child need assistance, various resources are available via the Internet; however, your child

should also utilize notes and worksheets that were received throughout the year. We suggest that the

student complete the packet at his/her leisure but strongly recommend that the student not wait until the

very last minute to do so. On Monday, September 9, students will be required to bring the packet to

his/her language class and the packet will be reviewed. Please be advised that this assignment will count

as two homework grades. Teachers will provide opportunities for students to ask questions and, since

language is comprehensive, students will be tested on the material that was incorporated in the packets.

This will serve as a diagnostic tool to continue to help your child’s teacher assess his/her skills.

The World Languages Department would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your support

during the 2018-2019 school year and we look forward to working with your child in the fall.

Sincerely yours,

Peter J. Giacalone Mr. Peter J. Giacalone
