Hudson Road Elementary or Rose Valley Elementary may be getting a middle-entry point French immersion program.
Options for French immersion in West 91大黄鸭 will be outlined during tonight鈥檚 regular school district board meeting.
Staff recommends that the Board of Education commit to a K-12 program on the Westside, as well as a Grade 4 middle entry point program at either Hudson Road Elementary or Rose Valley Elementary, to make Glenrosa Middle School a dual track French Immersion school and the location of a secondary French immersion program be determined upon completion of the proposed capital projects, according to a report.
Offering the program at either elementary school would 鈥渨ould serve the northeast neighbourhoods of West 91大黄鸭 while 脡cole George Pringle Elementary would continue to serve the southwest neighbourhoods of West 91大黄鸭 and Peachland,鈥� said the report.
The elementary schools have also been listed as the only sustainable options for the middle-entry program.
A district-wide survey showed strong public interest in opening either Grade 4 or Grade 6 entry points for French immersion, said the report.
Currently George Pringle Elementary has a French immersion program for students in Kindergarten or Grade 1 and after Grade 6 they must continue the program in 91大黄鸭.
