Answers  to questions from parents

• The health situation: There has been no positive or contact cases for several weeks. Overnight trips are not allowed, but field trips including use of group transportation are allowed.

• Calendar of consultations for drafting the new school project: Planned for the second and third trimester, the schedule will be communicated shortly.

• School buses for middle and high school students: This would require rethinking the entire bus system. Will get back to the group before the end of the year.

• Approach to continuous assessment for the baccalaureate: harmonization has been agreed upon with no negative feedback brought to the knowledge of Council. Continuous assessment throughout the school year will represent 40% of the baccalaureate final grade.

• English substitute classes (for secondary school): additional English sessions will be offered on Saturday mornings for classes that did not benefit from a regular substitute teacher earlier this year.

• Secondary school lunch: since last year only one main dish is being offered so as  to avoid waste. 

• Sustainable development: an Ecology club is being run by the students. A meeting is scheduled between school management and members of the parent Eco-team. Sustainability is also included in the school curriculum.

• LFI Tokyo t-shirts / sweatshirts: the school name only appears in Japanese as adding French would increase the printing cost, this choice can be discussed if concerns are raised. Possibility to exchange for another size.

• Online classes for the first week of January: the school council has already pronounced itself against it. No wish to differentiate between primary and secondary school, hybrid courses would require  significant adaptations to educational approach

• FLT Note: Student grades are individual and private, although some students may wish to openly communicate their grades in class, teachers should not do so.
