Rainbow Schools in Sudbury, Espanola and Manitoulin will host Kindergarten Information Nights for students starting school this fall. All parents/guardians and their children are welcome.

Information Nights will take place from 5:30 pm to 6:30 pm on Wednesday, January 15, 2025 for the English Program and Thursday, January 16, 2025 for French Immersion. Schools offering English and French Immersion will host one Information Night on Thursday, January 16, 2025.

If your child is starting school for the very first time, please complete the Elementary Registration Form here: bit.ly/rsregisternow. Completed forms can be emailed directly to schools or sent to info@rainbowschools.ca.

For enrolment in Kindergarten, your child must be four years of age by the end of the calendar year.

The registration process is not complete until school staff review your child’s identification documents, including proof of address (utility/tax bill, residential purchase/lease agreement, residential phone/Internet bill); proof of birth (Birth Certificate, Canadian Passport, birth registration, or citizenship card); proof of custody where applicable (custody orders, court-ordered guardianship); and immunization records.

Parents/guardians can enroll their children in the English Program or the French Immersion Program.

The English Program includes a Core French component beginning in Grade 4. Students are introduced to the French language through songs, games, drama and interactive activities for a specified period of time daily.

French Immersion provides children with an enriching experience that immerses them in the
French language and French culture from their first day of school.

English language instruction is introduced in Grade 3 and gradually builds to a balance of French and English instruction by Grade 5. This ensures that students gain effective bilingual skills.

The French Immersion program is designed for English and French speaking parents/guardians so they can support their child to become bilingual.
