School Hours: School and Jan

school hours: The only entry point for new students enrolling in FI will be junior kindergarten from now on, and all FI applications for JK must be submitted before 4 p.m. on Jan. 26 in order to be considered on time, said a board news release Thursday, according to Guelph Mercury. Kindergarten registration will be held from Jan. 9 to 26 at all of the board's elementary schools, with parents and guardians invited to register their child at their local school from Monday to Friday during regular school hours. A new twist for the 2016-17 school year is enrolment caps for French Immersion that go into effect starting next September. To find your local school, visit www.findmyschool.ca. The local sessions are on Jan. 16 at Rockwood's Harris Mill school, on Jan. 19 at Westwood school in Guelph's west end and on Jan. 25 at William C. Winegard school in Guelph's east end. Six evening registration sessions have been scheduled from 4 30-6 30 p.m. in communities across the school board for families who can't attend registration during school hours.
