Dear Lycée Parent / Guardian,
Lycée's seventh year has begun! I hope that you agree that the first day went well in spite of traffic issues at our campuses. I've heard many wonderful things about the day from students and parents. It seems that teachers were a hit yesterday as was lunch by Pigeon Catering. We have a remarkable team of professionals working with our children and I know this will be our best year yet.
Because of traffic issues, the Johnson campus is getting a traffic routing make over today. Please become familiar with the revised traffic protocol that is included in this edition of the newsletter, and follow the guidance of our traffic / security officers. When everyone cooperates, we'll get greater efficiency, making life easier for all of us.
At both campuses, please notice and follow all traffic and parking ordinances, and above all, be courteous to neighbors by allowing them to easy access to and from their homes and avoid blocking drive ways even for a few minutes. The explanation, "I was just parking here for a few moments to run in to get my child," is never an acceptable response.
The National Weather Service has issued a heat advisory for the area, and everyone is advised to drink lots of water. We take those advisories seriously, and always allow students access to water whenever they ask. At recess, we allow students who wish shade to have a shaded area in which to play. We also encourage students to fill water bottles (labeled with name and room number). Students may wear hats while at recess, but they may not wear them in classrooms. Please remind your children to never wear someone else's hat because of lice. Lice is an issue and we all have to do our part in preventing the spread of these nuisance bugs. A group of parents has formed a new service, Les Poux Patrol, to assist other parents in dealing with the pest. They've prepared a very practical guide for parents and they offer support to families dealing with repeated lice issues. Be sure to check it out in the next issue of Être à la Page.
Thanks for choosing Lycée as your partner in the education of your children.
