Dear parents,

Thank you so much for attending our parent–teacher conferences in such great numbers. These moments of exchange are essential: they help all of us build a clear and shared understanding of the different members of our school community: our students, our teachers, and of course you, the parents. Moving forward together, hand in hand, allows us to make the necessary adjustments, whether individual or collective, without delay.

Our first adjustment will take effect tomorrow and concerns all students with medium‑length or long hair. Our school has always strongly encouraged students to keep their hair tied back, as we consistently observe better focus and higher quality work when this is the case. Beginning November 9, this will officially become part of our dress code, just like wearing blue, white, and red for tops, and blue or khaki for bottoms. We will, as always, continue to allow full freedom for warm clothing worn during recess, such as sweaters, cardigans, or jackets.

Thank you in advance for supporting these guidelines.

On another note, President Emmanuel Macron has recently appointed a new Consul General of France in Atlanta, Mr. Matthieu Clouvel. He will be exceptionally in Greenville tomorrow afternoon, and I will meet with him to present our school. Mrs. Bouldin will be substituting for me during that time. This means that the older group will also have English class tomorrow afternoon.

Have a wonderful week everyone.

Mme Sellier
