• Le passeport de français: L’été et les vacances arrivent à grands pas. Cette année encore, le département
de français a conçu un court document pour chaque bande (A, B et C) afin d’aider les enfants de la
maternelle à la cinquième année à conserver un certain contact avec la langue de Molière en juillet et août.
Les enseignants remettront à votre fils le cahier d’activités lors de la dernière semaine d’école. Nous vous
demandons de vous assurer que le tout soit complété et retourné en classe dès les premiers jours de
septembre. Si le petit livret ne se rend jamais à la maison ou est perdu en cours d’été, vous pourrez le
consulter et l’imprimer (format PDF) directement de notre site Internet. Nous vous souhaitons une
merveilleuse saison estivale!
