Please visit www.lfno.org/school-calendar for the most up-to-date calendar 3 Pick Up & Drop Off Please visit www.lfno.org/pick-up-drop-off for a thorough breakdown of pick up and drop off procedures. All families will be given a carpool placard during Meet & Greet. We ask that families participating in carpool write their children’s names clearly on the carpool placard, along with their teacher’s name in parentheses, and place the placard on their car dashboards during pick up. See below for an example. Melpomene Muse (m. chartres) clio Muse (Mme. burgundy) Carpool Families interested in getting connected with other families in their neighborhoods to arrange a possible carpool, please complete a carpool connection form at bit.ly/lyceecarpool. Upon receiving the form, Lycée will connect families in shared neighborhoods who have expressed interest in carpool. Contact information will be shared with other families in the neighborhood, making it easier for families to contact one another to arrange ridesharing. 4 Uniforms All students are required to wear any combination of the following items. Please note that the images below do not include the school’s monogram, which is required on school uniforms. Uniform code will be strictly enforced. TOPS • monogrammed red or white polo • red cardigan • red hoodie (not shown) • any winter jacket on exceptionally cold days BOTTOMS • navy pants • navy pleated skirt (with cartwheel shorts) • navy bermuda shorts • navy skort FOOTWEAR • any color shoe (tennis/athletic shoes permitted) • shoes with lights, noise and/or wheels are • solid navy or solid white socks and leggings prohibited • boots, Crocs, sandals, and open-toe shoes are prohibited 5 UNIFORM VENDORS There are 3 official approved vendors for the school uniforms. • French Toast (www.frenchtoast.com).

Tops purchased with monograms can br brought to Monogram Express (2109 Veterans Memorial Blvd., Metairie, LA 70002), a local business that carries the Lycée logo for monogramming. SAINTS & SPIRIT DAYS Fridays are spirit days. Students are encouraged to wear Lycée Français spirit t-shirts from current and previous school years. Uniform bottoms must be worn. Students are invited to show their support for the Saints through special dress during football season. T-shirts, jerseys, and black and gold clothing are allowed on game days. However, Saints Days are not free dress days. Again, uniform bottoms must be worn. Our general rule of thumb for games this season is that we permit special dress on Fridays for weekend games. For Monday or Thursday night games, the special dress day is on game day. 6 Before care, After Care & Enrichment BEFORE CARE & AFTER CARE Before and After Care will start the first day of school.
