WHO: All Lycee Students and Families

WHENNow Through December 26th, 2017

WHATWe'd love your help in raising funds for Lycee this holiday season by purchasing Honey Baked Ham gift cards. The school gets 20% of gift cards ordered online through this link: 
https://honeybakedfundraising.com/fundraisers/la_liaison_du_lycee_francais


In time for the holidays, we've resurrected our Amazon Smile account, which means any shopping done after clicking our link gives Dads Club a small cut of the profits from Amazon. This is an easy way for us to put a few extra dollars into our account. 

Please encourage your friends and family to use this link any time they shop with Amazon: https://smile.amazon.com/ch/81-4056742 

As always, please send questions to  [email protected].


REMINDER: if your child is currently enrolled in Pre-K4 (tuition) at Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans, please note that you are required to submit a OneApp for Kindergarten - specifically to Lycée - if you wish to continue with us. 

The OneApp says that you do not need to apply to the school your child already attends. That is true for most schools. Lycée Tuition Pre-K4 to Kindergarten is the exception to the rule. If your child occupies a tuition Pre-K4 seat, you do need to apply to K. The Tuition Based program and the Kindergarten and up program count as two different programs because they have different funding sources. 

You may submit a OneApp online with your existing account (the one you used last year). Your deadline is February 23, 2018. The early deadline for January 12th 2018 ONLY applies to applicants for 1st grade and up, not to Pre-K4 or Kindergarten.

Please contact Cristina with the Admissions department at [email protected] should you have any questions or need your children's OneApp IDs.
