If you would like to help, please drop off any of the following gift cards to either Patton or Johnson campuses: Visa, AMEX, Home Depot, Lowes, Target or Wal-Mart and gas cards.

We are proud to be partnering with the Junior League of New Orleans Diaper Bank to help those affected by the devastating flooding of Hurricane Harvey. There is an overwhelming need of diapers (size 3 and up are in greatest demand), wipes, diaper creme and tampons. Diapers can be loose or in an open bag, they do not have to be newly purchased. There will be collection bins outside of the office hallways at both the Johnson and Patton Street locations beginning Tuesday morning (Sept. 5th).
If you send your child in with your donation, please let them know where the collection boxes will be located. Please help us in collecting these necessities for our friends in Texas.

On "Independence Day" we ask parents to allow children, even those in Pre-K and K to demonstrate their independence by walking into the building unescorted. Of course, for those special needs cases, parents are still permitted to walk their children to their classrooms. Parents who walk their children to the State St. gate should give them a kiss at the gate and send them off to another great day at the Lycee! The sooner we get children accustomed to routines, the sooner instruction can begin in a safe and orderly way.

We will be sending the confirmation letters from the Healthy School Food Collaborative via your child's backpacks this week, so please make sure to check and keep the letter for your records. All statuses will have been updated in Lycee's database, and all balances from now on should reflect any change in your status. If you have any questions about you status letter, please reach out to [email protected].
