We are currently in the process of notifying families of their placements in Grade 1 French Immersion classes for the 2021/2022 school year. If you applied for French Immersion, please check your email for a message from noreply@wrdsb.ca.

Here are a few answers to your frequently asked questions:

My child was accepted at our second or third choice, is this a mistake?

We have a limited number of spaces available at each school. We will always try and accommodate your child at their home school first. If there were more applicants than spaces available, students were placed in a lottery for the available spots. Those who ended up on waiting lists were placed at their next highest priority school (if alternatives were chosen).  If you accept your position at the school where you were placed, your child will remain on the waiting lists for their home school and/or 1st alternative. Should a position open up at your home school (or 1st alternative choice), we will be in touch with you to determine if you would like to accept that position. We will continue to place students until mid-September 2021.

I applied for French Immersion but I haven’t received anything yet.

We are working through our notifications, so please be patient. Sometimes emails go directly to spam folders so please check there. We are notifying students on class lists first. Waiting list students will be contacted second.

My child was accepted, now what?

Using the email sent, please confirm or decline your acceptance by Friday, March 12, 2021. If we do not receive your confirmation by the end of the day on March 12, 2021, your spot will be given to someone on the waiting list. If you are declining, please indicate why. If you are declining but want to remain on a waiting list for another school, please also note that in your comments.

My child is on a waiting list, now what?

Using the link in the email sent, please fill out the survey by no later than March 15, 2021, to be considered for additional schools where there is space.  These spaces will be filled on a first-come, first-served basis. Students may remain on up to 3 waiting lists to increase their chances of getting in. Should a position open up at one of your choices, we will be in touch with you to determine if you would like to accept that position. We will continue to place students until mid-September 2021.
