Dual language immersion is a 50/50 instructional model in which students spend half their day learning in English and the other half learning in Spanish or Chinese. Through developmentally appropriate curriculum, students naturally pick up the language as they learn other subjects. The program is based on the total language learning approach incorporating content-based instruction and explicit language instruction. Our goal is that our immersion students will become bi-literate and bilingual.

Within Weber School District there are four language immersion programs. A separate application is required for each program. If you would like more information about a specific program, you are welcome and encouraged to attend an informational meeting hosted by the school principal and a school district representative. Only students entering 1st grade during the 2024-2025 school year are eligible to apply. Applications will be available at 9:00 AM on morning following the parent meeting at each school site. 

All applications are due March 22, 2024 by 11:59 PM.
Please contact the school principal for additional information.

--Applications may only be submitted on behalf of incoming first graders.--

IRON Kid General and Timing Information

GENERAL INFORMATION:

2. Students will ride the same buses as the Math Science Olympiad to the Weber County Fair Grounds.
3. The IRON Kid school team will consist of 3 students in grades 3-6. These students are to be selected by the teachers in the grade.
4. We are asking that the IRON Kid team (12 students) be accompanied at all times by a teacher from the school. IRON Kid will pay for a half-day sub so that a teacher in each building can attend this event with the school team. It is recommended that a teacher and the PE facilitator attend.
5. Teachers need to check in at the registration table at the north middle doors of the building upon arriving and pick up their participation ribbons.
6. Teams need to check in 15 minutes before their event on the southeast side by the scoreboard.
7. Students not in the competition will be asked to stay on the north side of the hall. The south side of the hall is where students need to check in and stretch. We hope to be able to stage the groups on the south side on bleachers-we would ask all the adults to stay on the North Side.

2. After the Iron Kid competition we will have students line up; on “go” they will start Hula Hooping. All hula hoops will be provided by the school district.
3. We will have judges watching the students: students need to use from under their arms to their knees for the hoop; if it touches any other part of their body they need to sit down. Students are not to use hands, arms, necks or feet. If the student quits or if the hoop touches the ground they will need to sit down; if they are tapped on the shoulder by the judge, they will sit down.
4. When time runs out the remaining students from each grade will be awarded a medal.

Goal for hula hoop timing is:

• 4 minutes for fourth grade
• 5 minutes for fifth grade
• 6 minutes for sixth grade
