SANDY — Canyons School District on Monday, Sept. 30, will begin accepting applications to its dual immersion language programs for the 2014-15 school year. The deadline to submit an application is Nov. 22.
Families who have questions about the programs are invited to attend a Parent Information Night on Thursday, Oct. 24, at the Canyons Support Services Center, 9361 S. 300 East. The event will be from 6-8 p.m. in the Professional Development Center.
Canyons District is home to eight dual immersion programs: Mandarin Chinese-English programs are at Draper, Lone Peak and Ridgecrest elementary schools; French-English programs are at Butler and Oak Hollow elementary schools; and Spanish-English classes are taught at Alta View, Silver Mesa and Midvale elementary schools.
All programs, except for the Midvale program, are for students entering first grade for the 2014-15 school year. The Midvale Spanish-English program is for students entering kindergarten for the 2014-15 school year.
A lottery will be held to determine entrance into the programs if the number of applications is greater than the number of space available in the classes.
