SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENTS
Dear Lycée Families,

Last week the LDOE released the 2018-19 School Performance Score, or the school report card and letter grade. We are pleased to announce that our school has demonstrated growth compared to the previous year, and received an 85.3 B score with a 90.8 A progress score. Details are in the school's report card linked here . Our school is also recognized as one of the State's Top Gains Honoree. This 2019-20 school year is exceptionally exciting for us because of the birth of the high school and, with it, the opportunity to offer all of our students a unique curriculum that bases its strength in a rigorous approach to the study of the humanities, STEAM, the French language and culture, and more. While today we celebrate this success, teachers and administrators continue to work diligently to make data-driven instructional and curricular decisions to provide our students with a powerful educational experience. We will continue to make strides and we thank you for allowing us to grow and learn with your child.
 
Join us on November 22 at 9:00 am , Johnson Campus (1800 Monroe Street), for a presentation of the accreditation application to the French government, which includes School Improvement Plan . Please see front office for meeting location.
