Next September, French Immersion classes will be held at Rowntree and Worthington Public Schools in Brampton and Edenrose and Ridgewood Public Schools and Edenwood Middle School in Mississauga. Peel District School Board trustees approved the plan at their last regular meeting.

Also approved was community consultation on reorganization of French Immersion programs at Mississauga's Hillcrest and Whiteoaks Public Schools. Brampton's Agnes Taylor Public School and Mississauga's Credit Valley, Plum Tree Park and Oscar Peterson Public Schools will be monitored for possible opening of new French Immersion sites in 2011.

Springdale, Brampton east and west will be monitored annually, along with Southeast Mississauga, for French Immersion enrolment growth. High schools will also be watched for growth changes.

Special parent information evenings at all French Immersion schools are scheduled for Nov. 25, at 7 p.m. The deadline to register for French immersion programs next year is Jan. 29, 2010.
