Dear Parents,
Preparations are well underway for the 2016-17 school year, and we are very excited about making it the best year yet. To make the registration process easier this year and for years to come, Lycée has partnered with SchoolAdmin to make registration quick and painless. Parents and guardians are now required to re-enroll online. The SchoolAdmin registration portal is secure, and your information will be stored to carry on to the next year, saving you time and energy.
We ask that you take your time reviewing your family’s information in SchoolAdmin and making changes as needed. Once your forms have been submitted, you cannot edit them without our assistance, so please, do take your time!
By now, you may have already created an account. If so, please sign into your account and skip forward to step 4 to continue with registration. If not, please continue reading.
To create and account and authenticate it, please follow these instructions:
Once you have created your account and you are in your Parent Portal, please take a moment to review the information in your profile to make sure it is as accurate and updated as possible, and if not, please correct what is wrong.
Please complete registration by Friday, May 20, 2016. If registration is not complete by May 20, it will be determined that your child’s space at Lycée Français is unclaimed and will be offered to a new student wishing to enroll. If you are a current family who will not be returning for the 2016-2017 year, please list the new school your child will be attending so that we may forward your child’s records.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out.
Sincerely,

In order to provide a safe and appropriately staffed child care environment, we ask that you sign up before 6:00 PM on September 2 for the event scheduled for September 3, and before 6:00 PM on September 8 for the event scheduled for September 10. Parents who do not have access to the internet, may call Christina Sanchez for assistance at 504-620-5500 ext. 1757

Once your child is registered, an invoice will be sent electronically for the amount due. Parents/Guardians may also pay at the door with a check (to LFNO) or cash.
The fee for child care is $10 ($3 for students who qualify for Free and Reduced lunch); a pizza dinner will be provided.
Registered students should be checked with supervising staff at the playground of the respective campus. Parents will be redirected by staff in case of rain.

Parking will be difficult due to the number of families attending the event. The Patton campus parking lot is available, but if you are parking on the street, please be mindful of our neighbors Please do not block driveways and do not park in restricted areas, especially the reserved handicapped spots in front of the school.
I hope you will be able to join us and see the world your child inhabits every day, meet the people s/he interacts with and take advantage of this opportunity to build that all-important home-school connection.
Thanking you in advance for your continued support, we look forward to the excitement and energy of another great Lycée school year.

Lycée Français de la Nouvelle-Orléans has its own carpool group at carpoolworld.com. Create an account to connect with fellow Lycée families in your neighborhood and arrange a carpool. It’s a great way to save on gas, make new friends, and leave a smaller carbon footprint.
Back to school shopping, anyone? Each child needs supplies from his/her grade level list and English Language Arts (ELA) list, for a total of two lists. Pre-K4 students only need supplies from the “Moyenne section / Pre-K4” list, as ELA courses begin in kindergarten.
