public school board will only accept kids who is living in their "neighbourhood boundary", so can't tell you which elementary school is good. depends on your address. but if you are looking for catholic school, there is no "boundary", but the kid or either one parent must be catholic OR will become catholic within one year.
ckkwkl,
thanks for that. we are not catholic so catholic school won't be our target. in that case, my daughter just only can go into an regular elementary public school which within our district or we have to move to the district that our target located, right? also, any advise regarding enrollment? I didn't do anything up to now, am i too late? what should i do?
yes, either schoosl within your district, or you move to the district of a targeted school.
you need to go to the target school to register. what i remember is :
- a proof of address
- child's birth certificate
- proof of citizenship or PR status
- previous report from school (if not register for JK)
- immunize card
- health card
you can call the school to check for exactly what they needed for registeration. it's not too late, can register at any time. the school must accept the application provided that you meet all the conditions; and space still available.
Just wonder if ON has any campaign about anti- FSA report recently?
In BC, the teacher union has put whole page ad to urge parent to withdraw from that test which is take in May for G4-7 students as it is kind of waste of money. Many schools just purpose train student to pass the test in order to get a higher ranking. Plus do you know that the school can decide which students can be exempt from the test, such as ESL student, so it is a big controversial debate here.
The man who oversees the Fraser Institute's controversial report cards on elementary schools says he won't be able to continue this work in B.C. if teachers persuade enough parents to withdraw their kids from standardized tests. The report cards compare how students in different schools perform on Foundation Skills Assessment tests, which are offered in grades 4 and 7.
The Vancouver Elementary School Teachers' Association launched an advertising campaign this spring in English- and Chinese-language newspapers urging parents to withdraw their kids from the provincewide FSA tests. These tests measure students' performance in reading, writing, and mathematics.
"We do think that teachers in schools should be responsible for the work that they do," Hansman said. "But we don't think that standardized tests like the FSA really reflect what is going on in schools."
Julianne Doctor, chair of the Vancouver District Parent Advisory Council, told the Straight that a lot of parents aren't aware that the FSA tests are optional. She claimed that these assessments have been "corrupted" because some lower-performing kids don't take the tests, skewing a school's results.
