FEEDBACK SOUGHT ON FRENCH IMMERSION IN PARRY SOUND

February 4, 2019 By Mairghread

The Near North District School Board will be offering a French Immersion Program in Parry Sound beginning September 1, 2019.  During the month of February 2019, the NNDSB will be seeking feedback and input from the Parry Sound area communities, including our parents and guardians with respect to the establishment on a French Immersion program at one centrally located school in the Parry Sound area.  It is anticipated that the confirmation of the location and program registration will begin early in March 2019.In our commitment to meeting the needs of all families, we invite parents and guardians of current and future students to participate in a survey of interest related to French Immersion Programming.

All eligible Students from the Parry Sound area entering first or second year of Kindergarten or Grade 1, including students from the following schools, may register for the proposed French Immersion Program in Parry Sound (transportation will be provided):

  • MacTier Public School
  • Humphrey Public School
  • McDougall Public School
  • Nobel Public School
  • Parry Sound Public School
  • Britt Public School
  • Whitestone Lake Central School

The French Immersion Program in ELK, embodies the philosophies of the Early Learning Kindergarten program while infusing the French language. At the NNDSB, 90% of the instruction in ELK and in Grade 1 are done in French. Our educator teams work with the students, at their level, to ensure understanding and development of literacy behaviours that foster proficiency in both French and English languages. Our teams strive to encourage communication in the second language while developing their critical thinking skills in what they notice, hear, and read as well as express themselves in a variety of ways. The development of thinking and speaking in young children provides them with a strong basis for successful learning throughout their lives. The provincial vision for the FSL program, “Students will communicate and interact with growing confidence in French, one of Canada’s official languages, while developing the knowledge, skills, and perspectives they need to participate fully as citizens in Canada and in the world.” (French as a Second Language curriculum)

If you are interested in registering your child or children in the French Immersion Program in the Parry Sound area, click on this Parry Sound FI Survey to complete the survey or go to the board website. If you have questions, please contact Krista Holmes at 705.746.9371 ext 7003 or Krista.Holmes@nearnorthschools.ca
