      If we project what these numbers might look like in September 2011, there are a few differences. The projection is calculated by adding the number of students who would still be there next year to the average number of students in K, grade 1, and grade 2. Note that these schools are primarily half time kindergarten schools, and next year, when full time kindergarten is province wide, this may have an impact on their numbers.
