The Near North District School Board outlined its future programming during a meeting last night at West Ferris Secondary School.
The meeting underlined some of the changes that will take place when Widdifield Senior Secondary shuts its doors for good in 2019.
Officials say the consolidation will mean some program transitions will start to take place as soon as the fall of 2018.
To relieve current accommodation pressures at Chippewa and in order to prepare instructional space required for the 2019 transition, the following programs will transition in September 2018:
- Current Grade 6 Sunset Park French Immersion students
- Current Grade 6 W.J. Fricker Extended French students
- Current 7-11 Chippewa Extended French students
- Current 7-11 Chippewa French Immersion students (zoned for Sunset Park)
“Future opportunities will be provided for parents who were unable to attend the information session tonight,” the Board stated in a release.
“The Near North District School Board values comprehensive and supportive communication to our valued students and families. As such, parents of students who are imminently affected were invited to attend an information session at West Ferris tonight to hear first-hand from the board and school staff about the 2018 transition, to learn more about ongoing transition planning and to ask related questions,” the release continued.
“The Board is highly committed to ensuring that transitions and school environments are supportive of optimal learning conditions for all students.”
