Yesterday, French Ambassador Philippe Etienne, French Consul General Yannick Tagand, and Alliance Francaise Executive Director Isabelle Heidbreder visited SLLIS! Our guests stopped by several classrooms and toured SLLIS with our French Program student ambassadors. Thank you to the teachers and students who welcomed our guests and made the visit a success!
This coming Saturday Sep 10th is going to be our Mid-Autumn Day, AKA the Moon Festival. It falls on the first full moon in fall. The Moon Festival and the Chinese New Year are considered the two biggest traditional holidays in East Asian Countries.
In Taiwan, and other East Asian countries, people usually have days off to reunite families, have barbecues and enjoy the first full moon.
Reminders for dismissal:
The car pick-up line forms at 18th and Pine. Please adhere to traffic laws for the stop sign at 18th and Pine to get into line. A security office will be assisting with this process.
Pick-up line turns right on 19th and remains single-file. Please do not change order at any time.
Groups of students will be loaded into cars, and groups of cars will be dismissed at once from 19th St. All cars MUST turn right on Olive; there is no left turn onto Olive due to no visibility with construction.
Hello, SLLIS! We have a few important safety updates for dismissal today. If you pick up in the car, stay in your vehicle and allow the officer at 18th and Pine to direct you into the designated pick-up line, where a staff member will take your name. If you do walk-up, please park at any meter in the area that is NOT located on SLLIS’ block of Pine Street, then proceed to the playground gate to enter your name. More details about these updates can be found here: https://5il.co/1hbs5. Thank you for your patience and support as we improve safety at dismissal!
