Elementary Program Review Carson Grove Meeting
Elementary Program Review - Carson Grove Information Session - Tuesday, March 18th from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm
Hello Carson Grove Community Members,
As you may have heard, the OCDSB is in the process of completing an Elementary Program Review. The proposed changes will have an impact on the Carson Grove school community.
We will be having an information and feedback meeting for Carson Grove families on Tuesday, March 18th from 11:00 am to 1 pm. It is very important that your voice is heard as a part of this process as the changes will impact your child(ren). All are welcome to attend the meeting.
Busing will be available to bring community members to Carson Grove for the meeting on March 18th. Here are the times and locations for the three stops:
- 10:30 am - 1240 Donald Street
- 10:45 am - Meadowbrook at Maxime
- 10:50 am - Appleton at Beaverpond
The bus will make one trip so please be at the stop 5 minutes ahead of the pick up time.
After the meeting, the school bus will return community members to their pick up spots.
What is the OCDSB’s Elementary Program Review and What is Being Proposed?
- Arabic Booklet

- Inuktitut Booklet
- Pashto Booklet
- Simplified Chinese Booklet
- Somali Booklet
The proposed new boundaries, program and grade structures for all elementary schools in the Ottawa-Carleton District School Board have just been released as part of the proposed Elementary Program Review (EPR) and can be found on engage.ocdsb.ca in both alphabetical order and in the form of a school locator.
As the implementation of these boundaries is proposed to occur in 2026 (subject to approval by the Board of Trustees), please ensure that you input your child’s(ren’s) grade level corresponding to that year.
Also, we ask that you carefully read the notes on each proposed boundary map for your child's(ren's) school. Even if your residence is no longer within the boundary, there are instances where grades or programs will be kept at the original school to meet the Ministry of Education requirements.
In the case of our school, the following will apply:
Starting in 2026, the French Immersion program, based on the new 2026 boundary, will commence in the following manner:
2026 - Grades 1-2
2027 - Grades 1-3
2028 - Grades 1-4
2029 - Grades 1-5
2030 - Grades 1-6 (phase in complete)
Thank you for your ongoing interest and participation in this process. Please visit engage.ocdsb.ca for more information or reply to this email.
We hope to see you at the community meeting on Tuesday, March 18th at 11am.
All the best,
Aaron
