Note to parents

Greetings!

We have begun our preparation meetings with your children for the trip to France in just a few short months! During these meetings we will be covering a number of topics including:

•Program expectations
•Group travel: roles and routines
•Packing and money
•Itinerary info and planning
•Successful family stay
•Getting around
•Hotel and restaurant behavior
•Group logistics
•Sites, cities, events
•Safety
•Communicating with home
•Managing free time
•American Ambassador
•Language commitment

By now your child should have turned in a signed copy (by parent and child) of the program expectations sheet as well as a photocopy of their passport.

Julie Dunlop, our Language and Friendship coordinator will be contacting you shortly with the final payments. I believe we are going to break up the final payments into two due dates: March 15 and April 15.

Please check our France2008 Blog. We are updating this blog frequently with new information. We will also be using this blog to keep you posted when we are in France and Switzerland. I am including the link. France 2008 is also located on the A-Z page on the new MPA website.

Thank you,
Evy Johnson
