Lottery system for Kindergarten French Immersion

Due to high demand for Kindergarten French Immersion, if a school receives more registrations per category of enrolment priority than the number of available seats, a lottery will take place. The lottery will follow the Student Enrolment Priorities and students will be placed in the order in which they are drawn.

A wait list will be established according to the lottery. The lottery process will be based on a school-by-school basis.

Student Enrolment Priorities

1. re-enrolling students
2. a catchment area child who has a sibling currently attending the school
3. a catchment area child
4. a non-catchment child who has a sibling currently attending the school
5. a non-catchment child
6. a non-school district child

These enrolment priorities apply to all new registrations and transfer requests.

*Please note that for École John Stubbs, the elementary and middle schools are separate. If you have a child in École John Stubbs Middle School or one who will be in the middle school the following September and are registering another child in École John Stubbs Elementary School, Enrolment Priorities #2 or #4 will not apply.

Multiples: In the event of a lottery, one ballot will be entered into the draw for families with multiples. If drawn, they will be offered placement in the program at the same school provided there is space available.

Student Safety & Conduct

Parents/guardians are responsible for ensuring their child gets safely to and from their designated bus stop.

During registration, parents/guardians acknowledge and consent to their student(s) adhering to the School Bus Rules. We encourage you to take the time to review these rules with your child. Additionally, please note that our Student Codes of Conduct applies both at designated bus stops and while riding the bus.

Route Delays & Cancellations

In the event of a significant delay or route cancellation, notifications will be sent through:

During winter and severe weather conditions, bus delays may occur due to road congestion, icy conditions, or mechanical issues. Please ensure your child is dressed appropriately for cold weather, as buses can cool down quickly.
