I honestly never thought this would gain this much steam so fast but here we are and it makes me feel like maybe the board actually has to listen now. It is just wild seeing how many people want the same things I do for our kids and honestly I have been reading the comments while drinking my coffee and it keeps me going even when I feel totally overwhelmed by the district bureaucracy.

We are a Mandarin speaking family, transferred from San Francisco to College Park for the immersion program, leadership and passion from Ms. Hallock, resources from the language lab and library. These invaluable assets should be fully utilized and appreciated by the Mandarin speaking community. For example, I see there are many wonderful Mandarin books in CP library, but they seem to be too hard for elementary kids to comprehend, they are more appropriate for upper grade level kids. We likely will be one of those families that fully support the k-8 program, will continue in CP after 5th grade, but will unlikely pursue the immersion program at the Bayside. Thanks for the consideration.
I strongly support consideration of this option, as the many proposed changes for Bayside in the coming year may cause real chaos there. Futhermore the traffic situation at Bayside is terrible.
I think this would be a great idea. I've been with the school since 2009 and have seen this community blossom to a great big family. We have built an amazing community and Principal Hallock, the teacher, staff and families have made this an amazing place. We continue to show our support for the a program that we believe in. I've been here since before the school was rebuilt and we stuck through it because we believe in this. Please give our children the opportunity to continue this here.
College Park has improved dramatically and has the capability to continue Mandarin immersion. Bayside has too many programs, and is not yet prepared for Mandarin.
I have a 6th grader in the Mandarin program at Bayside and a 4th and 2nd grader taking Mandarin at College Park. Would love for there to be a K-8 Mandarin program at College Park.
I support the K-8 Mandarin program at College Park.

A K-8 program at College Park makes sense to ensure continuity in the Mandarin immersion program and hopefully allow College Park to develop a clear, comprehensive K-8 program that is appropriately aligned with the local high schools.
