District Parents Advisory Council hosting open house for choice programs

Families will have a variety of options when it comes to finding information on choice programs in Prince George.

A handful of elementary schools will be holding information sessions about its own choice programs including arts, Aboriginal, and French immersion that are scattered throughout the month.

District Parents Advisory Council (DPAC) Chair, Jamie Giede said their presentation gives families an opportunity to get that information in one day.

“For DPAC, we have all of the choice programs, and we’re doing it all as one.”

“If parents don’t want to go to each school, they can just come to our presentation at one night.”

Giede added that families are still able to attend the individual information sessions to see the other schools firsthand.

The presentation will be held in person at Van Bien Elementary on January 20th from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

September 2026 Kindergarten registration begins January 28th for children whose fifth birthday falls on or before December 31st of this year.
