CONVERSATIONS THAT MATTER [4]: Preparing Parents for Back To School

May 14, 2025, from 6-7:30pm

On Zoom | RSVP HERE

We don’t know about you, but here at the Lycée - both in our work and in our personal lives - we’re already starting to think about the next school year (and by “think,” we mean not just imagining it, but also trying to plan... and sometimes feeling a little worried and overwhelmed in the process). Back-to-school season - and even the pre-season (A.K.A right now) - can be full of excitement, but also stress, especially for families with young children or students entering new stages like preschool, elementary, or middle school. In this session, we’ll offer insights and practical tools to help parents feel more confident and grounded as they support their children through these important transitions.

Wellness Tip #2 : Adding positive emotions is very often easier than removing negative ones

For new families whose child already has identified difficulties within the framework of a PAP or other special plan (PPS, American IEP, etc.), a conversation with the admissions team will help prepare the on-boarding and identify whether the school will be able to meet the applicant's needs.

Many students with special needs can be schooled in a regular school setting and in a bilingual school such as ours, with accommodations in terms of time, specific equipment or personalized aids .

Schooling in an ordinary environment is always preferred whenever possible and beneficial for the child. However, in certain cases, if our school cannot meet the specific needs of a student, our team will then help guide the family in their search for a local, public or private specialized structure.

The first point of contact for families should always be the child's teacher.

The teacher will call the Student Support team after discussing the concerns with the family. An action plan will then be put in place in consultation with all involved. In most cases, a set of actions will be provided to solve temporary difficulties.

In case of persistent difficulties, despite the interventions already in place, other actions can be implemented by organizing an Educational Team or proposing specialized assessments to better understand the student's learning profile.

If a learning disability is identified and diagnosed (highlighted by a recent assessment clearly indicating one or more deficits), and if the family so wishes, PAP will be set up and revised each year according to the evolution of the student's needs.
