(UK) Dear Parents,
The 1st term School Council meeting took place this Tuesday, 11th November. Below you will find the key takeaways and the educational projects planned by year group. The detailed minutes will be published on the school website.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any questions!

Kind regards, FCPE Lisbonne

📌  KEY POINTS

 🚨Trips/Collection by a Third Party

If you wish for your child to be collected exceptionally at the end of the school day by a third person who does not have an access card, you must notify the school by 10:00 AM on the same day. (Teachers are instructing our children and do not read emails at all hours.)

🔑 Entry/Exit access cards

There are different access cards :

  • Blue card: Parents (to be kept from PS to CM2).
  • Yellow card : Children from CE2, CM1, CM2 that are authorized to leave alone at the end of the day
  • White card (for this year): Third parties. This card must be renewed every year, and its colour changes for security reasons.
  • The parents association (FCPE) requested the implementation of these cards to improve the security of our children. Supervisory staff may change, and the card must be presented every time.
  • Nevertheless, in addition to the physical paper format, you can also show it digitally (a photo of the front and back of the card on your mobile) or via the Eduka platform.

🏊‍♂️ Dads at the swimming-pool

CP and CE1 classes have a swimming cycle, and there is often a lack of male escorts for the boys’ changing rooms.
👉Daddies: If you have availability, even occasionally, please contact the management to volunteer, even if your child is not in these year groups!
