Dear Editor: ;

In October, 1975 the North
Vancouver Parents for
French presented a brief to-
the Board of Trustees of
S.D.44 urgently requesting
higher priority for French
programs for our elementary
school children. At that time

our research determined that _

ninety per cent of the parents
of elementary children were
in favour of giving the
children the opportunity to
participate in a French
program from Grade Four
through Seven.

_Since the composition of
the Board has changed, and
since the need for
comprehensive elementary
French program has only
increased in the intervening
time, this group wishes to
acquaint you with its deep
concern for this matter.

In April, 1977 we adopted
two formal goals:

‘contemporary needs,

1. That French. instruction
for a minimum of twenty
minutes four times per week
be included in the curriculum
of S.D.44.

2. That S.D.44 establish a
minority language elemen-

tary school wherein seventy- |

five ner cent of instruction is.
in the minority language
(French).

To this end we highly
endorse the Board’s initial
steps in commencing a
program for children in
Grade Seven, but suggest
that it is not sufficient for
_ and
again request higher priority
for French instructional op-

portunities for all elementary

school children.

ents for French group is
