**Informational Meeting Announcement: Run now through October 18th

Are you an AP Spanish or AP Italian student? Do you speak another language at home? If you said yes to any of these questions, then you may qualify for the New York State Seal of Biliteracy. The Seal of Biliteracy is an award given to high school graduates who have demonstrated a high level of proficiency in English and one or more world languages. It encourages the study of languages, affirms the value of diversity in a multilingual society, and provides universities and future employers with additional information about applicants. There will be an informational meeting about the Seal of Biliteracy on Wednesday, October 18th, from 2:30 to 3:30 in the Guidance Resource Center. Applications will be coming out soon.
