Bienvenue à Charlemagne! Welcome to Charlemagne!
Martha Moultry, Principal
Bienvenue
à
Charlemagne!
Charlemagne
at Fox Hollow French Immersion School is beautifully
nestled in the hills of south Eugene at 5055 Mahalo Drive in south
Eugene. It
is the first part of a K - high school program that continues at
Roosevelt
Middle School and South Eugene International High School. Our goal is
for
families to commit to the full program that will allow language
learning and
cultural experiences to be maximized.
Each
grade level at Charlemagne has two classes, varying in size,
but generally having between 22 and 27 students each.
Our total school enrollment is capped at 292
students. Our learners have instruction
approximately half of the school day in French and half in English. Our French teaching staff includes native
French speakers as well as fluent non-native speakers. Charlemagne has
four
classroom instructional assistants, all of them French bilingual.
Specialists
provide instruction in PE, music, library, speech,
special education services and technology support. Parent and community
volunteers are very involved in the school and are encouraged to
participate at
whatever level suits individual families. This includes serving on
committees,
being a room parent, cutting out bulletin board letters or mixing salt
dough at
home, as well as ensuring that your child is loved, supported, fed,
read to,
and delivered to school day prepared to learn.
Students
in the kindergarten class attend school either
Monday/Wednesday from 8:30 – 2:45 and Friday from 8:30 – 10:30, or,
Tuesday/Thursday from 8:30 – 2:45 and Friday from 11:30 – 1:30. Students in grades 1 – 5 attend M – Th from
8:30 – 2:45 and Friday from 8:30 – 1:30.
All students are excused at 1:30 on Fridays.
Entry
into this great language and cultural immersion program is
determined by lottery. Enrollment for fall admission begins each year
in
January and continues into March. The
lottery drawing is held in March. Although residence in the Eugene
School
District is required for general admission, students outside the
district can
be accepted on a space available basis by paying tuition or receiving a
transfer from their home districts.
Charlemagne
is part of the Eugene School District which prides
itself on having strong educational programs at all of its schools. The district also offers distinctive
alternative programs, such as Charlemagne, for those families who
desire
different learning experiences for their children. We promise to give
your
child a wonderful educational experience while engaging them in
enjoyable and
memorable adventures.
Joie
de Vivre!
