Information meeting scheduled for École Forest Trail Public School parents/guardians
To take place Tuesday, April 7th, 7-9 p.m. at École Forest Trail Public School
Parents and guardians of current and future École Forest Trail Public School students are invited to attend an information meeting on Tuesday, April 7 from 7-9 p.m. to learn about changes in the delivery of French immersion programming in Ward 4 Oakville. These changes will take place beginning in September 2009. The information meeting will take place in the gymnasium at École Forest Trail Public School (1406 Pine Glen Road, Oakville).
These changes to program delivery and accommodation are the result of a motion passed at the meeting of the Halton District School Board on March 25, 2009. The wording of the motion can be viewed at a href=”http://www.hdsb.ca” target=”_blank”>www.hdsb.ca.
At the information meeting, Superintendent of Education Patricia Dyson, and Steven Parfeniuk, Superintendent of Business, will explain how the Board will implement these changes. The implementation plan will include the establishment of the new Palermo school as a dual track (French immersion & English language) school, the determination of boundaries for the new Palermo school, and establishment of the French Immersion Grade 1-3 incubator school at Lorne Skuce Public School for students who will attend the new Palermo school when it is built.
Parents who wish to have a specific question addressed at this meeting should submit the question, in writing, through the École Forest Trail Public School main office. A question box has been set up for this purpose. Please submit questions by Monday, April 6, 2009 at 4 p.m.
