Though they are still unable to pinpoint an exact school location, they have indicated that if the program were to start this coming school year (2014/2015) that it would definitely NOT be in an inner city school. This is more great news as many of you know, that having the program in an inner city school was the demise of the efforts a few years back.
However this is a prediction that is only viable if the program were to start in this upcoming coming school year.
The target age group is to start with a Kindergarten program this coming year with children born in 2009 residing within WSD catchment. However the WSD is open to also accepting children from outside of WSD catchment, if space is available. We currently are needing to continue seeking those children that may be interested in being a part of this brand new Spanish bilingual program, we especially need families with children born in 2009 and residing within the Winnipeg School Division catchment area but also welcome those not in that school year and not within WSD catchment.
This is an interest list and by no means is it a fixed or non-retractable commitment. We are just wanting to show that the interest, need and demand for a Spanish bilingual program in the City of Winnipeg is definitely there.
Please spread the word, share this post and/or continue to send us your information to add to our database. To be added to our database or for more information please email at winnipegspanishimmersion@
Thank you for your interest and support thus far.
