Upon graduation from the program, students will communicate in French with confidence in a wide variety of real-life situations. Information sessions take place in January for parents of students in Senior Kindergarten. The information meeting will be held at Mundy's Bay on January 15 beginning at 6pm.The FI online application form will be available from 9 a.m. on Mon. Jan. 21, until 9 p.m. on Wed. Jan. 23, 2019 at www.scdsb.on.ca under Programs, French as a Second Language. While every effort is made to accommodate all FI applications, available space and staffing will determine how many students can be registered. Applications will be processed in the order they are received electronically. Please contact the school if you do not have Internet access at home or require assistance accessing the online application. Please note that the host sites for FI may change during your child's time in the program, and your child may need to move schools. This may also include splitting the program between two different sites. </p> | | | |
