French Immersion Kindergarten Registration 2024-25 School Year

Please note: This year's deadline to register/submit expression of interest for French Immersion is February 2, 2024

Overview of the French Immersion Registration Process

A cap for Junior and Senior Kindergarten as well as Grade 1 is in effect for French Immersion at all sites.
Parents/caregivers must register their child (and verify documents) for French Immersion.
There are limited spaces available for students entering the program.
Students who currently have siblings in the program are guaranteed a spot. Registration and verification, however, is still required.
A randomized selection process will be used for new families to grant access into Grand Erie’s French Immersion program.
Parents/caregivers will be informed, by each school, whether their child is in the program.
Parents/caregivers of students who were not granted a spot in the program through the randomized process will be provided with information on the wait list process and will be directed to register at their home school.
No out-of-area requests will be permitted.

Students who made the deadline, but were not selected by the randomized process, will be placed on the wait list in the order given by the randomized process.
Students who wish to enter the French Immersion program, but did not register by the deadline, will be placed on the wait list.
Students who missed the deadline will be placed on the wait list in the order registration is received
The wait list ends on the first Thursday of the school year

Once September enrolment data is collected and verified, the wait lists will be reviewed and families will be notified whether or not their child is in the program.
