[Alisa Fulshtinsky]

Considering French Immersion Registration for my kid. The deadline is Jan 16th, 2015. We live in Newmarket and do not speak French. Anyone else in our shoes?

Regarding your local school board-have you been following local news about any issues with capacity for the FI program in your area? Also check your local school board's website for any program information/public sessions.

There's an information session on Jan. 15 for your public school board.

I'm not a parent but am aware of FI program issues in Hamilton. Usually if an older sibling is in the program, a new younger sibling usually can get into the same school but available seats are always limited. Then there is the matter of teachers/resources.
Hamilton district school board had an ad about its FI program registration. A second high school will provide the secondary FI program in East Hamilton. Currently only a west-end high school does. Each high school has catchment elementary schools assigned to it.
