For the French Immersion Program for Kindergarten and Grade One, the background towards the program is as follows.
French immersion is a bilingual program that is hosted at Ecole Roosevelt, the program is open to all children throughout the Prince Rupert School District.
French language spoken at home is not a pre -requisite for the program, and most parents of French Immersion students typically do not speak French themselves.
Children in the District that are entering Kindergarten or Grade One may register for French immersion.
The program runs at Roosevelt School as a dual track school, offering both a complete French Immersion K-5 program as well as a complete K-5 English program.
Those looking to learn more about the French Immersion program can visit Roosevelt School, or call the office at 250-624-6126.
Those parents who are considering a request to change schools for their children, they must register their children in their catchment area school first. You can then submit a cross boundary form (available at the school) and submit it to the catchment school.
All Cross boundary Boundary requests for September 2019 must be submitted in February of this year. Any requests that are received after February 28th will not be considered until September of 2019.
Information from the School District, as well as a link to the cross boundary application form can be found here.
