Message from Superintendent Uton Robinson
This past spring, it was decided that the International Languages Integrated Day Program would be cancelled as part of the budget consultations. This past fall, surveys were conducted in all our schools that previously had the Integrated Day Program. We had some positive feedback resulting in some schools being able to offer some after school programs.
At this time, we are exploring the possibility of offering Saturday morning International Languages Elementary classes at Dovercourt PS to meet the needs of families in this area of the city.
Parents and guardians are asked to read the attached information letters.
