Spanish for Parents – Level 1
Chinook Learning Services is offering Spanish for Parents - Level 1 at Dalhousie School. Learning Spanish can be both easy and fun. This beginning level course will help parents of bilingual Spanish students learn or refresh their Spanish language skills. Parents will become more comfortable interacting with their children in Spanish, build their network of bilingual parents and become familiar with the school environment. Spanish for Parents – Level 1 is currently scheduled for Tuesday evenings, 6:00 – 8:00 p.m. on October 6, 13, 20, 27, November 3, 10, 17 & 24, 2026.
