Time to say goodbye to preschool and hello to Elementary School!
Aurevoir la maternelle, et Bonjour l'élémentaire
Our 33 kindergartners are excited to graduate on June 17 and move on to elementary school next September, after a well-deserved summer break. |

Greetings! ,
It is a short holiday week that is bringing us into the month of June and the final three weeks of the school year. Students are eagerly counting the days until the summer break, while enthusiastically practicing their dance moves for the end of the year show. It is for many, the most enjoyable time of the year filled with bittersweet emotions. There is so much to look forward to: the excitement of the end of the year performances and graduations, Kermesse, and the enjoyable days of summer vacation. At the same time, there is so much to look back on: friends and teachers who will be missed throughout the summer months, memorable moments and special achievements made throughout the year. With this in mind, I am wishing you a wonderful end to the school year and enjoyable times with your family and friends over the summer.
It has been my pleasure, as the editor of the ÉCHO, to bring to you our school news throughout the year. I would kindly welcome your feedback on this publication, specifically what you have enjoyed, what you are interested in reading about, the frequency of the publication and what you think may be improved. Please email any comments to esims@sdfrenchschool.org. It is only with your help that we can improve this communication and make it as effective and informative as possible.
Thank you for all your support.

Après le long weekend, nous voici presque rendus en juin pour les trois dernières semaines d'école. Tout en répétant leurs chorégraphies pour le spectacle de fin d'année, les élèves comptent déjà les jours d'ici les vacances d'été. Pour beaucoup, c'est un moment de l'année très agréable, empli d'émotions douces-amères. Ces dernières semaines vont aller très vite, entre l'excitation du spectacle de fin d'année, les cérémonies de graduation et la Kermesse. En même temps, on se souvient de l'année écoulée : les amis et les professeurs qu'on ne verra pas pendant les longs mois d'été, toutes les réussites et les découvertes qui ont rythmé les mois passés. C'est avec ces pensées que je vous souhaite une bonne fin d'année et de très bonnes vacances d'été avec vos proches.
Ce fut un plaisir d'étre l'éditrice de l' ÉCHO et de vous rapporter les nouvelles de l'école tout au long de l'année. Je serais contente de recevoir vos commentaires : ce qui vous a plu, ce que vous aimeriez y lire dans le futur, la fréquence de publication et les améliorations à apporter. N'hésitez pas à m'envoyer un courriel à l'adresse esims@sdfrenchschool.org. Grâce à votre aide, nous pourrons rendre l'ÉCHO aussi efficace et informatif que possible.
Merci pour votre soutien.

Les examens SAT10 cette semaine pour les élèves de 5ème et 4ème (7th and 8th grade)
SAT10 Exams this week for the 7th and 8th graders.
 The 7th and 8th graders have been taking the SAT 10 exams this week. The English exams were administered on Tuesday, May 27, and the Math exams were today, Thursday, May 29.
These exams are not affiliated with the High School SAT exams, so no need to worry that they were too hard for your child. They are the standardized tests offered by Pearson which we already use at other levels of the school.
These exams replace the ERB's, and will be given at a standard 7th and 8th grade level.

Le Kangourou des maths: encore une année réussie pour nos élèves!
Kangourou des maths: Another succesful year for our students
Every year, the 3rd to 8th grade students participate in an international math contest, "Kangourou des maths." They have to solve up to 24 very challenging problems in French.
This week we started receiving the results, and many of our students have done extremely well, like Nadia Bitar, 4th grade, who ranked #32 out of 27,215 4th grade students from France and other international schools worldwide. A brilliant score!
Results and prizes will be given to the students in the next few days.
