English International School Newsletter of the 27th March 2026

Dear Parents,

As the second trimester of this academic year will end next Wednesday, we call your attention to the following:

Child Progress Conferences

Conferences have been going on since last week, and some may continue into early next week. If you have been unavailable to meet with your child’s teacher thus far, please contact the school secretary to set up an appointment.

End of Second Term & Break Between Terms

The last day of this term, on Wednesday, 1st April, will be a half day of school. The Fancy Hat Parade (a tradition in school) will take place on that morning. Kindly ensure that your children are picked up from school at 11:45 on 1st April. From there, the school break between second and third terms will take place through 6th April. Classes will resume on Tuesday, 7th April for Term Three. After-school activities will begin in the week of 13th April.

Cambridge Externally Moderated Examinations

External Primary and Lower Secondary Checkpoint Examinations for Year 6 and Year 9 will be held during the period of 11th through 21st May.

The written Cambridge IGCSE and AS/A-level Examinations will begin on 24th April and run into the month of June. Students have received their exam schedules.

DELF (Département de Langue Française) Exams – Institut Français

DELF exams begin next month, with different dates scheduled depending on your registration. E.I.S. French teachers have provided information at school, and have encouraged student participation to receive this qualification awarded by the French Ministry of Education. Further information regarding these exams may be obtained at the Institut Français.

Class Timetables

Attendance and participation in all lessons on your child’s timetable (including physical education, music, etc.) are required. Exemption from a lesson at a given time, due to a valid reason, must be requested by means of a note from a parent or guardian.

We extend wishes for a Happy Easter holiday, and thank you for your cooperation.

Yours sincerely,

Rebecca Khelseau-Carsky

Head teacher
