Frequently Asked Questions

Why is a redirection necessary?

Preregistration into French Immersion grade 2 did not meet the minimum requirement enrollment to support a successful program at this school. French Immersion students in grades 3 to 8 who reside in the Milton SW #12 ps catchment attend Irma Coulson PS. The implementation will ensure all French Immersion students in the area attend the same school. This will help to create a stronger and more cohesive French Immersion program and community.

What is the construction status of Milton SW #12?

Milton Sw #12 ps is scheduled to open in September 2024.

My child(ren) is/are currently attending FI and we live in the Milton SW #12 catchment can my grade 2 FI child attend Viola Desmond PS.

To attend a different school you would have to apply through the optional attendance process.

Will transportation be provided to Irma Coulson PS?

Transportation will be provided for students that fall within the redirected area within the future Milton #12 ps catchment area (as per Transportation Eligibility guidelines for secondary schools).
