Revised application process
for regional programs that
begin in Sept. 2016
• Peel District School Board elementary students did not receive term two report cards during the 2014-15 school year. As a result, the board will revise the admissions process for Regional Learning Choices Programs that begin in September 2016. No student will be disadvantaged because he or she does not have a term two report card.
• Term one report cards will be accepted for all Peel students, and for students who do not have a formal report card or summary of marks. Students from school boards that issued term two report cards or summaries of marks in writing will submit these.
• The documentation that is required will be shared during program information meetings.
