Letter from parents of a Kindergartener

Dear Mr. Kershaw:

We are writing to you as parents of a child enrolled in grade one in the Early French Immersion program at Loch Lomond Elementary School in Saint John for September 2008.  We were requested by the school and district to have our registration in by a certain date which with we complied.  At no time was it ever communicated to us by the school or district that that the availability of this program was going to be in question.  This registration was a contract duly signed and entered into and we expect the contract to be fulfilled.

Kindergarteners enrolled for grade one in September 2008 at the time this decision was forced on New Brunswick should be grandfathered into the program.

We await your action in this matter before joining force with other kindergartener parents in exploring our legal options.

Respectfully,

Paula and Raymond Small
