Emotions
• They’ll miss you & you’ll miss them.• They’ll miss you less if you’re strong.• You’ll be reassured by the regular tweets &
blog posts• You can comment on the website by Disqus but
we won’t show the comments to your child until the journey back. No contact is better for them – they’re much more able to cope.

Phone Tree
France
Branch 1 Branch 2 Branch 3
Important messages (e.g. arrivals and departures) will be passed to parents using a phone tree. We will send messages to the 3 people at the head of the tree. Each person then passes the message to the next person on the list.
If you would like to be part of the phone tree, please add your name to the sheet or contact your child’s teacher.
