Application to begin this program is open to all students not already enrolled in an FSL program. All communication will be sent via the email address you provide. 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 at the bottom of the package brought home, for non-TDSB students, please select the "Non-TDSB Student" option and follow the steps to generate an identification number. You must then return to the PARS site and follow the application procedure with this number

You MUST take action to accept this placement by the deadline requested when you are offered a placement.

IMPORTANT DATES: Application process opens: January 06, 2020 Deadline for applications: January 31st, 2020
Please note: While every effort will be made to place students in the school identified as their area French program school, this is not always possible.

NOTE: Placements are made based on the address provided prior to the application deadline. If the home address changes between the application deadline and the fall of the Grade 4 year, there is no guarantee of placement in the new Junior Extended French area.
