Dear Lycée Families,
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Kim Conner-Davis as the interim principal of the Lower School Campus of Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans. In July, Mrs. Conner-Davis joined the team as the assistant principal of the Lower School Campus. She comes to Lycée Français as an experienced, multi-area certified classroom educator and school leader of 20 years. Her areas of expertise include science, math, ELA, ESL, 504, special education, student discipline, RTI, Title I, and testing. She has been a member of national and statewide educational standards committees, school steering committees, local school councils, and neighborhood improvement committees throughout several schools and residential districts in Louisiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. She has won numerous awards in science education and presented at several local and national science and technology conferences.
As a native of Southern Louisiana and the daughter of an elementary school principal and teacher, Mrs. Conner-Davis has a strong French and educational heritage. Therefore, she not only believes but lives Lycée Français’s mission. When commenting on her appointment, she remarked, “I look forward to an amazing opportunity where my passion, dedication, and experience in educating diverse groups of students can help inspire and support the French teaching and learning process—ensuring that every child has an exceptional academic experience.”
I am thrilled that Mrs. Conner-Davis has accepted the interim principal position, and I am confident that her solid educational background, teaching experiences, and leadership expertise are an excellent match for Lycée Français. Please join me in extending a warm welcome to Kim Conner-Davis as the interim principal of the Lower School Campus of Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans.

Amis Du Lycée Update
I hope that you and your family are well. I would like to share an update on the Alfred C. Priestley building renovation and restoration project following Hurricane Ida.
John Vollman, our Priestley project manager and liaison who is also a parent at Lycée Français, is happy to report that there doesn't appear to be any significant damage to Priestley from Ida. The job site is open and slowly coming back to life. The historic oak trees on the school grounds suffered minimal damage with only a few branches down.
Thank you for your support of Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans and the Room to Grow Capital Campaign.
With kind regards,
Anne Normann

Virtual Back to School Night Information
In a traditional school year normally we would open the school doors for all of you to experience a snippet of your student's typical school experience. Given the Covid-19 safety precautions in place as well as Hurricane IDA, we sadly cannot welcome you to campus at this time. Instead, your Back to School Night experience will be a virtual experience with each of the teachers on Thursday, September 30th. Each homeroom teacher will send you an email with a Google Meet link for a live session to present academic content and expectations for this school year.
