Practical guide

FS 1 “Back to school” from 15/11

Educational organisation

Current health measures specific to the FS1 level limit the capacity of the classes to 50% oftheir total capacity. Groups of up to 10 students will be welcomed each day by a teacherand an assistant. This ensures optimal sanitary and learning conditions at school butrequires the introduction of a hybrid format with an alternation of day/house.

Sunday, November 15: Group 1 students “back to school”Monday, November 16: Group 2 students “back to school”

Each class is divided into two groups. The groups will alternate over a two-week period sothat each student can benefit from maximum time at school. This organization istemporary and as soon as it is allowed, we are ready to welcome all students full time.The group learning from home will receive educational activities through our Seesawplatform, which has already been in place since the beginning of the school year, followingthe lessons learned in the classroom. Afternoon, Zoom appointments, video clips andother activities will be offered to students, and especially students at home to keep intouch daily.
