Parents’ feedback on the canteen service at LFI Tokyo
Canteen service feedback form
Inclusive school at LFI Tokyo
FLT created a group focused on inclusive schooling presented HERE.
Among other actions, we created a list of professionals who can be consulted by children with special needs (in French, including mentions about languages spoken by each professional).
https://bit.ly/listeProFLT
We also created a group for parents of these children that you can join sending an email to our group.
Should you have any topic you would like to raise during the next Conseil d’école (LFI Tokyo Primary School Council), Conseil du second degré (Junior and Senior High School Council), or School Council (CE), please fill this form.
LFI Tokyo Primary School Council (Ce):
The Primary School Council prepares recommendations for the LFIT School Council with regards to educational matters and school life at the Primary School.
Junior and Senior High School Council (CSD):
The Junior and Senior School Council prepares recommendations for the LFIT School Council with regards to educational matters and school life at High School.
LFIT School Council (CE):
This body oversees the Primary and Secondary School. It reviews the topics discussed during the Primary School and Junior/Senior High School Councils. It can make decisions regarding educational and organizational matters within the framework defined by AEFE. It cannot replace AEFE or the Board Meeting for their specific scopes of decision.
