Foreign Exchange Students

Los Lunas Schools must be notified as soon as possible, prior to the beginning of the school year, that the exchange student is scheduled to attend. Upon proper verification, foreign exchange students shall be placed in 11th grade only. Grade eleven is the preferred placement as the standard curriculum course sequence provides the maximum exposure to United States history and American literature. If appropriate, a foreign exchange student may be placed in English as a Second Language (ESL) class. Foreign exchange students are required to take the same course sequence as all other grade level students. Los Lunas Schools will not issue a diploma to a foreign exchange student. Exchange students completing a full year of course work at Los Lunas/Valencia High will receive a transcript of work completed.
