Dear Parents: If you have a child entering kindergarten in the fall of 2019, now is the time to apply. The process will take you less than one minute!
(This is different from last year's link.)
To be fair and transparent with all prospective families, we want to be able to tell them how many seats are available and how many seats will be taken by siblings. Your help is essential. Please fill out an application for your kindergarten sibling today.
The deadline to apply is Friday, March 1st at 4:00 p.m. Sibling applications received after this deadline will be placed on the waiting list.
After you fill out your child's application, tell your friends and neighbors
with an incoming kindergartener to do the same.

Would your family consider hosting an
intern
for the upcoming school year?
Interns are university students from French speaking countries who spend a year working in the classrooms of our youngest students. We review their resumes and references, and we interview them at length to make sure they are a good fit for our school. They also fill out a questionnaire about the
host family experience which helps match them with
host families.
Host families open their homes and welcome an
intern for a semester or for a year. They provide a private bedroom and meals when you are together as a family. The school provides a generous monthly stipend to the
intern and a monthly city bus pass.
Hosting an intern is a great way for your children to speak French at home, to discover more about francophone culture, and to have someone to visit when your family goes to France in the future!
If you would like more information about hosting, please contact Diane Balagna,

Calling all Cherry Street campus families!! To celebrate reading and the importance of reading, parents, grandparents and special family members or friends of K-3 Cherry campus students are invited to be a guest reader for their child's class. Reading may be done in French or English. We hope to have two volunteers in every room. This special volunteer reading opportunity will take place during the week of Monday, January 28. Volunteers will join us on Monday, January 28, - Thursday, January 31 from 10:45 - 11:15 am. Once a volunteer is done sharing a book, they are encouraged to donate that book to their child's class. A sign up sheet, via Google docs, will be sent out from the homeroom teachers. Please sign up using this document. This is a great opportunity for school community building, and we look forward to your participation.
