The Peel board has a limited number of spaces available for students interested in grade 1 French Immersion. At this time, the grade 1 FI enrolment cap is set at 25 per cent of all Peel students enrolling in grade 1. A random selection process is used to determine which students will be offered spaces in the grade 1 FI program.

The Student Census launches this November The Peel District School Board is committed to providing the very best learning environments so that all students can achieve personal excellence. In order to do this, the Peel board will launch its first Student Census this November. The census findings will help the board and our schools to: better understand student populations and school communities. identify and eliminate barriers to student success, inclusion and well-being. establish effective programs and reallocate resources to where they are needed most. Who will participate? Students in grades 4 to 12 will be invited to complete the Student Census in class during Nov. 19 to 30, 2018. The questionnaire will take approximately one class period to complete, and will include questions that ask students about themselves and their experiences in and outside of school. Parents/guardians of students in kindergarten to grade 3 will receive the questionnaire to fill out on behalf of their child(ren). Questionnaires will be sent home in early November with your child’s progress report.
