French Immersion - Parent/Guardian Survey
As part of the exploration process around French Immersion, the board would like to know how many parents/guardians of children in Junior and Senior Kindergarten this year would like to access early French Immersion, and at which locations, when their children are in Grade 1. In order to capture this important information, the board is asking parents/guardians to complete an internet survey. For more information, CLICK HERE.
