Early French Immersion 2019-2020
Parents/Guardians of Children in Junior Kindergarten,
You have a choice to make about French programming for your child.
Senior Kindergarten is the ONLY time your child can begin the Early Immersion Program. Applications to the Early French Immersion program are made the year your child is in Junior Kindergarten for entry in September of Senior Kindergarten. It is an entirely online process.
All communication will be sent via the email address you provide. Please check this email regularly.
Please visit the application site www.tdsb.on.ca/pars
You will need your child's date of birth and OEN. The OEN is a 9-digit number found on any report card from the TDSB or please refer to the application form sent home with your child.
For non-TDSB students, please select the "Non-TDSB Student" option and follow the steps to generate an identification number. You must them return to the PARS site and follow the application procedure with this number.
Please select Early French Immersion from the drop-down menu and complete the application process.
On-time applicants must be offered a placement online via the email address you have provided. You MUST take action to accept this placement by the deadline requested when you are offered a placement.
Offers of placement will be on going through the weeks and months following the close of the application period. Please check your email regularly and follow all instructions found therein.
IMPORTANT DATES:
Application process opens: October 29, 2018
Deadline for applications: November 26, 2018
Please note: while every effort will be made to place students in the school identified as their area EFI school, that is not always possible. In cases where the number of applications in a given area is greater than the number of spaces in the school, students may be redirected to schools with available space.
Placements are made based on the address you provide prior to the application deadline. If your address changes between the application deadline and the fall of the SK year, there is no guarantee of placement in your new area.
Applicants who have older siblings currently enrolled in the program and who will be in attendance the following year have a priority placement in that school.
Classes with fewer than 25 students may not open.
A series of public information evenings will be held across the TDSB to provide parents the opportunity to learn further information about the French Immersion program and the application process, and to ask questions of TDSB staff. These meetings will be held at the following sites:
