Late French Immersion
Late French Immersion Specific Questions
1. What if I want my child to try LFI for one year to see if it’s a good fit? Can they switch to English track after? Students need
to commit to the language program for the entire year. If you choose to move to the English track, you must be in our
school catchment to remain at Munroe. If you are coming from a different catchment area, you will return to your home
school and attend the English track there as we are closed to schools of choice.
2. My child is motivated and looking for a new challenge in their educational journey, is this the program for them? YES!
3. I want my child to take Late FI. Is this the program for them? Families are encouraged to make this decision together. While
parents ultimately make the best decision for their child, it is important that they want to take part.
From Students:
1. I’m the only one from my school entering the late FI program...I won’t have any friends! We have students attending from
our 4 feeder schools, and many attending from across the division. You won’t be lonely for long! With so many new faces,
everyone is looking to make new friends!
2. I am worried because I don’t know any French! That’s okay, that’s what we’re here for!
3. Is there recess or breaks for us? We have lunch recess with many activities offered!Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do the three tracks (English, Late French Immersion, Early French Immersion) mix and interact with each other? Students
come together as a community during assemblies, student leadership led activities like spirit week, gym riots, cultural events.
They also come together during the lunch hour with activities such as Makerspace, intramurals, and various clubs.
2. What supports are in place to help my child in English or French Immersion? Your child’s homeroom teacher is their greatest
support. As in all schools, we also have a Student Services support team consisting of our resource teachers and guidance
counselor.
3. How does Munroe encourage French bilingualism around the school? School signage, announcements, and events such as
Remembrance Day are held in both languages.
4. How often does my child use technology at school? Is it a requirement that they bring a device to school? We leverage
technology daily to explore, apply critical thinking skills, create documents, teach digital citizenship, and use Teams to support
students while they learn in person, and remotely. While technology is not a requirement, we encourage you to send it if you
are able. A laptop best supports student need in any grade.
5. What kinds of clubs are available for grade 6? Clubs change from year to year depending on student interest. We consistently
offer our GSA club, intramural sports as well as school teams.Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are grade 6 students allowed to leave the property for lunch? Grade 6 students must remain on the property at lunch unless
they are going home. This is standard across RETSD.
2. We do not speak any French at home; how can we help our child with homework when we don’t speak the language. We are
here to help! Concepts are taught and practiced at school. Then we share supports at school that students can access at home
should they need them if they have homework.
3. What steps are being taken to recognize all students inclusively? AT ÉMMS we Celebrate Everything! All cultural events are
marked, and learning is shared over the announcements by student leaders. Our library selections reflect the diverse
community that is Munroe. Our GSA, known as “PULSE”, is very active and supports student identity and voice.
4. We live far from the school. Is bussing available? Bussing is determined by our Transportation department. The phone number
here: 204-663-9230
5. What does a typical day look like for my child. I know exactly what it’s like for my child in Elementary school. Can you walk me
through a typical day please? Timetables will be shared at the beginning of the school year.
6. Where do I find information about the school? Information about our school can be found on our Webpage. Here is the link:
