The Northwest District Catholic School Board has received the go ahead from the province to expand St. Michael's School to allow for the full-day kindergarten this fall.
Education Director Mary Catherine Kelly says the Ministry of Education has confirmed the over $622-thousand for the project at the Fort Frances school.
"The board will renovate two existing classrooms so that it adds two additional square footage," says Kelly. "Then we have two classrooms that will be expanded even further to create kindergarten full-day classrooms across from the current kindergarten classrooms."
Work is expected to begin this spring.
