About PTR

What is the PTR?

The PTR (Parents-Teachers-Resource) is an organization composed of parents/guardians, teachers, and staff working together to enrich the Le Lycée Français de San Diego experience. We aim to maintain a strong relationship and to facilitate open and effective communication between the school and the parents. We organize events, help fund student activities, promote school spirit, and provide opportunities for enhanced parent involvement.

All parents at Le Lycée Français de San Diego are members of the PTR. The Executive Board includes the Officers, the General Board Members, a school appointed teacher(s), and an administrator from the school, all of which are voting members.

The PTR Officers serve a 2-year term in their respective office. Each position has a standard job description, but each individual performs their role in a way that allows for their unique strengths and talents to shine through. PTR officers contribute in many ways outside their standard role description, and heavily participate in the overall planning and activities of the PTR. Review each position’s specific duties and get to know the current Officers below.
