FREE TUTORING INFORMATION

Good afternoon, 

Parents for Bilingual Education New Brunswick has additional spots available for our Free Tutoring Program.

We first launched this program last fall in partnership with Apprendre Franco-Fun and participating families have been seeing great results.

Applications are now open again. Spots will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. Please pass this information along to teachers and parents in Anglophone North, and tell them to apply right away using this FORM!

Who is Eligible?

This program is available to all students from Grades 1 to 12 registered in New Brunswick’s Anglophone school system, regardless of French program (French Immersion, PIF, English Prime). Tutoring is for any student who needs it!

How Does it Work?

Each free tutoring spot consists of five individual online tutoring sessions, offered by Apprendre Franco-Fun. Parents will receive an email from Apprendre Franco-Fun and should reply as soon as possible to schedule an initial free assessment of the student. Then, the family can schedule their five free 25-minute tutorials.

Who Gets What?

These spots will be available to students in each Anglophone School District and will be filled on a first come first serve basis. This application form will only be used by families in Anglophone North.

Once notified of their acceptance, families have two weeks to make arrangements with Apprendre Franco-Fun (emailing to schedule an initial assessment). If no arrangements have been made, we will offer their spot to the next person on the waitlist.

Families are welcome to reapply.

What’s the Catch?

There is no catch! Families do not pay a cent for this service. Parents for Bilingual Education New Brunswick is pleased to offer this free tutoring program thanks to generous funding from Patrimoine Canadian Heritage.

When parents apply to any of our programs, they receive an automatic free Parents for Bilingual Education New Brunswick membership. Being a membership organization helps us to advocate for more and better French second language training in New Brunswick.

What if Families Want More Tutoring?

Good news! This year, Apprendre Franco-Fun is offering a discount to any families wishing to continue their tutoring service after they have used their five free tutoring sessions. Parents can purchase more sessions at a discount. We hope this discount will make tutoring accessible to more families. 

Again, here is the application FORM!     for parents to fill out for FREE TUTORING.

Questions? Feel free to contact us anytime at outreachcoordinator@cpfnb.net.

Hi folks!

Back for another full week! Please take a look at our website for some cute photos and videos from our first week back. Mme. Robichaud | King Street Elementary Among 'regular work', we also harvested our class-grown garlic and made some dip AND made ice cream with some freshly fallen snow! This week in Science we will be studying snow and why we don't eat it! haha.

Re: Music - Mrs McLean has decided to do her recorder unit a little bit later on. For those of you that need to dig out their recorders, I'll keep you posted. Those that purchased recorders will receive them when the unit begins.

Re: Scholastic Book orders - As a push to go paperless, here is the Book order flyer: Digital Flyers & Catalogues | Scholastic Canada Book Clubs. Our "class code" is: RC198054. Credits get awarded to our class for each order! The credits are used as a French speaking reward ($25 to one student every 2ish months - congrats to Harry and Bennett R our two winners so far!) and to purchase new books for our class.

Re: English/French - examples from our last unit will be sent home later this week to be signed and returned. Next up, we will be learning about the Animals of NB through a magic potion and research project.

Re: Math - We are taking a break from addition and subtraction (to be revisited later) and starting an introduction of multiplication!

Lots of learning happening at KSE! All for now!

-Mme R
