Kindergarten French Lottery
The Abbotsford School District is proud to offer a wide range of educational options for all types of learners. In addition to excellent neighbourhood schools, we offer District Programs that include French Immersion, Integrated Arts, and Traditional Schools. Acceptance to these programs is based on a lottery registration process.
Families must register their Kindergarten child at their neighbourhood catchment school before applying for District Programs. A lottery process is used every January/February to determine the registration priority order. Entries can be made at any time during the five days. Late entries are not accepted, and only one entry per child is allowed. Seats will be assigned in late February on a proportional basis by catchment area via a random selection process. Students with an older sibling in the program will be given priority placement over new applicants.
Lottery for the District Kindergarten Programs and late French Immersion program (Grade 6) will open at 8:30 am on Monday, January 26th and close at 4:00 pm on Friday, January 30th.
