High School News:
it was great to meet with the Head of French Schools in North America based at the French Embassy in Washington, DC. He visited our school today, together with the Education and University representative at the French Consulate. The reason for this visit was the high interest for our Lycée High School project, for which we have the agency’s full support. We discussed programming, including French American Baccaluréat and Advanced Placement, dual enrollment, the accreditation timeline (next accreditation will include all grades in cycle 4, which includes 9th grade), staffing opportunities and support, as well as other topics of general interest about our school’s growth.
Financing and grant opportunities continue to be explored in order to meet our summer 2021 Priestley moving in date! Very exciting times!

The Patton campus has launched its random acts of kindness campaign.
Kindness promotes
empathy
and compassion which, in turn, leads to a sense of interconnectedness with others.
Each student was given the challenge to go into the world and complete 3 random acts of kindness. This campaign will continue from now until the end of January through our counseling program, class game time during recess, and principal check-ins with students. Encourage your child to accept the “Kindness Challenge.”

Our kindness tree is overflowing with leaves, each representing an act of kindness. Join the movement!
