Beginning
Jan 8, 2007, Waller ISD will offer a variety of adult education courses.
The course list includes Spanish Language Technology Thursdays from 6-8
p.m.; Conversational Spanish Thursdays from 6-8 p.m.; English as a Second

Education Mondays and Wednesdays from 6-9 p.m.
To be admitted to the G.E.D./Basic Adult Education class participants
must take a pre-test and achieve ninth grade level. This course will prepare
participants to take the G.E.D. English as a Second language will help
native Spanish speakers brush up on their English and learn the difference
between nouns, verbs, adjectives, and English pronunciations; Conversational
Spanish will teach native English speakers another language with a focus on
conversational topics; and Spanish Language Technology will teach native
Spanish speakers how to navigate the Internet, Microsoft Word, Microsoft
PowerPoint, and Microsoft Excel.
To participate in these classes, you must have a child enrolled in the
after-school program. However, a limited number of spaces may be available
for other participants. Please contact one of the following after-school
