Planning for French Immersion
13
The high level of interest in the French Immersion
Program in northwest and north central Calgary has
resulted in some schools being at or over-capacity,
which may limit continued growth at these locations.
The CBE is committed to providing learning
opportunities to all our French Immersion students and
working with families to explore possibilities for the
future.
![Page 14: Northwest and North Central French Immersion …...b) Provide program continuity from kindergarten to Grade 12. c) Keep cohort groups of students together. d) Allow students to attend](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050206/5f58ef03b445b145697048c8/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Options for French Immersion
14
Four potential options:
Change boundaries
Change grade configurations
Expand program / locations
Long term cap on enrolment
Final decision could be a combination of the options
![Page 15: Northwest and North Central French Immersion …...b) Provide program continuity from kindergarten to Grade 12. c) Keep cohort groups of students together. d) Allow students to attend](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050206/5f58ef03b445b145697048c8/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Option 1 – Boundary Changes
15
To change the boundaries /designated communities of
a school attendance area
Example 1 - Enrolments were declining at Hidden
Valley and Valley Creek Schools during the 2010-2012
school years.
![Page 16: Northwest and North Central French Immersion …...b) Provide program continuity from kindergarten to Grade 12. c) Keep cohort groups of students together. d) Allow students to attend](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050206/5f58ef03b445b145697048c8/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Option 1 – Boundary Changes
16
![Page 17: Northwest and North Central French Immersion …...b) Provide program continuity from kindergarten to Grade 12. c) Keep cohort groups of students together. d) Allow students to attend](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050206/5f58ef03b445b145697048c8/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Option 1 – Boundary Changes
17
![Page 18: Northwest and North Central French Immersion …...b) Provide program continuity from kindergarten to Grade 12. c) Keep cohort groups of students together. d) Allow students to attend](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050206/5f58ef03b445b145697048c8/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Option 2 – Grade Configuration Changes
18
To expand or reduce the grades that are offered for a
specific program at a school(s).
Example 2 – Edgemont School was full and Tom
Baines School enrolment was starting to decline.
School Old Grades Long Term Plan
Edgemont School K – Grade 6 K – Grade 5
Tom Baines School Grade 7 – Grade 9 Grade 6 – Grade 9
![Page 19: Northwest and North Central French Immersion …...b) Provide program continuity from kindergarten to Grade 12. c) Keep cohort groups of students together. d) Allow students to attend](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050206/5f58ef03b445b145697048c8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Option 3 – Program / Location Expansion
19
To increase the number of school sites that offer a
specific program. Program expansion may involve
boundary changes and/or grade configuration changes
to balance enrolment between the schools.
Example 3 – There was a need to address the
challenges of continued growth of the Spanish
Program in the North Calgary in 2012.
![Page 20: Northwest and North Central French Immersion …...b) Provide program continuity from kindergarten to Grade 12. c) Keep cohort groups of students together. d) Allow students to attend](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050206/5f58ef03b445b145697048c8/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Option 3 – Program / Location Expansion
22
Grade configuration changed for Dalhousie,
Collingwood and Senator Patrick Burns Schools.
School Old Grades Long Term Plan
Dalhousie School K – Grade 4 K – Grade 5
Collingwood School K – Grade 4 K – Grade 5
W.O. Mitchell School Did not offer program K – Grade 5
Senator Patrick Burns School Grade 5 – Grade 9 Grade 6 – Grade 9
![Page 23: Northwest and North Central French Immersion …...b) Provide program continuity from kindergarten to Grade 12. c) Keep cohort groups of students together. d) Allow students to attend](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050206/5f58ef03b445b145697048c8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Option 4 – Enrolment Cap
23
To set an enrolment limit per grade for a specific
program at a school that is at or over capacity.
Example 4 - CBE Schools that offer TLC, follow the
lottery process to accept students into this program
every year.
School Grades Instructional Space Current Enrolment
Chris Akkerman School K – Grade 5 575 (23 rooms) 630 students

Planning for French Immersion
13
The high level of interest in the French Immersion Program in northwest and north central Calgary has resulted in some schools being at or over-capacity, which may limit continued growth at these locations.
The CBE is committed to providing learning opportunities to all our French Immersion students and working with families to explore possibilities for the future.

Options for French Immersion
14
Four potential options: Change boundaries Change grade configurations Expand program/locations Long term cap on enrolment
Final decision could be a combination of the options
![Page 42: Northwest and North Central French Immersion …...b) Provide program continuity from kindergarten to Grade 12. c) Keep cohort groups of students together. d) Allow students to attend](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050206/5f58ef03b445b145697048c8/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
Option 1 – Boundary Changes
15
To change the boundaries /designated communities of a school attendance area
Example 1 - Enrolments were declining at Hidden Valley and Valley Creek Schools during the 2010-2012 school years.
![Page 43: Northwest and North Central French Immersion …...b) Provide program continuity from kindergarten to Grade 12. c) Keep cohort groups of students together. d) Allow students to attend](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050206/5f58ef03b445b145697048c8/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Option 1 – Boundary Changes

Option 1 – Boundary Changes
17
![Page 45: Northwest and North Central French Immersion …...b) Provide program continuity from kindergarten to Grade 12. c) Keep cohort groups of students together. d) Allow students to attend](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050206/5f58ef03b445b145697048c8/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Option 2 – Grade Configuration Changes
18
To expand or reduce the grades that are offered for a specific program at a school(s).
Example 2 – Edgemont School was full and Tom Baines School enrolment was starting to decline.
School Old Grades Long Term Plan
Edgemont School K – Grade 6 K – Grade 5
Tom Baines School Grade 7 – Grade 9 Grade 6 – Grade 9
![Page 46: Northwest and North Central French Immersion …...b) Provide program continuity from kindergarten to Grade 12. c) Keep cohort groups of students together. d) Allow students to attend](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050206/5f58ef03b445b145697048c8/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
Option 3 – Program/Location Expansion
19

Planning for French Immersion
13
The high level of interest in the French Immersion Program in northwest and north central Calgary has resulted in some schools being at or over-capacity, which may limit continued growth at these locations.
The CBE is committed to providing learning opportunities to all our French Immersion students and working with families to explore possibilities for the future.
![Page 68: Northwest and North Central French Immersion …...b) Provide program continuity from kindergarten to Grade 12. c) Keep cohort groups of students together. d) Allow students to attend](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050206/5f58ef03b445b145697048c8/html5/thumbnails/68.jpg)
Options for French Immersion
14
Four potential options: Change boundaries Change grade configurations Expand locations Long term cap on enrolment
Final decision could be a combination of the options
![Page 69: Northwest and North Central French Immersion …...b) Provide program continuity from kindergarten to Grade 12. c) Keep cohort groups of students together. d) Allow students to attend](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050206/5f58ef03b445b145697048c8/html5/thumbnails/69.jpg)
Option 1 – Boundary Changes
15
To change the boundaries /designated communities of a school attendance area
Example 1 - Enrolments in the French Immersion Program were declining at Hidden Valley and Valley Creek Schools during the 2010-2012 school years.
![Page 70: Northwest and North Central French Immersion …...b) Provide program continuity from kindergarten to Grade 12. c) Keep cohort groups of students together. d) Allow students to attend](https://reader034.fdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022050206/5f58ef03b445b145697048c8/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)

Option 2 – Grade Configuration Changes
18
To expand or reduce the grades that are offered for a specific program at a school(s).
Example 2 – Edgemont School was full and Tom Baines School enrolment was starting to decline.
School Old Grades Long Term Plan
Edgemont School K – Grade 6 K – Grade 5
Tom Baines School Grade 7 – Grade 9 Grade 6 – Grade 9

Option 3 – Program Expansion
19
To increase the number of school sites that offer a specific program. Program expansion may involve boundary changes and/or grade configuration changes to balance enrolment between the schools.
