FAQs
 ​​​​
My child is currently at Dr. Frank J. Hayden in the French Immersion Program. Will they be staying at the school?
Students entering grade 9 prior to September, 2018 for French Immersion will remain at Dr. Frank J. Hayden SS until graduation.
When does the French Immersion program move to M.M. Robinson?
Students entering grade 9 for French Immersion effective September, 2018 will attend M.M. Robinson H.S.
 Students entering grade 9 prior to September, 2018 for French Immersion will remain at Dr. Frank J. Hayden SS until graduation.
My child will be attending M.M. Robinson for French Immersion. We have another child at a different school, given our family’s home school for English is Dr. Frank J. Hayden. Are we able to have our older child move to M.M. Robinson as well?
The process for application for optional attendance for students already in grades 9 – 12 occurs through the home school Principal and the Principal of the requested school. Families inquiring about optional attendance should be directed to the Principal of the designated home secondary school. The process can be initiated through informal means (meeting, email or phone call) and does not require a formal application process. Optional attendance decisions require the approval of both Principals.

Optional attendance does not include transportation. Our Board does have a Courtesy Seat policy whereby those students who are not normally eligible for bussing can apply for school buses with empty seats. If there is a bus route that is close to your house an application for a seat as a Courtesy Seat Rider is made via the main office at the end of September. Forms and information will be available at that time.

Please note: there is a formal optional attendance process for students entering grade 9. The information and timelines are found here.​

My child may now have a further distance to travel to school. Will busing be provided?
When students enter high school, the Board’s minimum distance requirements for transportation eligibility changes. Secondary students who live farther than a 3.2 km walking distance from their school are eligible for transportation.
   
Students attending a secondary school on optional attendance, from cross boundary, or who are non-Halton residents are not eligible for transportation services. Some Board approved programs do not provide transportation to and from the program. Please check with the school offering the program with respect to busing. For more information, please refer to the HDSB Transportation policy.​
