Your Child’s School in French
Enrolment, school messages, a call from the school and the parent-teacher meeting.
The French a parent needs, from the first day to the report card. Learn the school systems of Québec (from daycare to cégep) and France, enrol your child at the school office, understand the school calendar (journées pédagogiques, semaine de relâche), the notes in the homework diary and a call because your child is ill, write an absence note, then talk with the teacher: understand the report card, ask how to help at home and raise a concern politely.
