School term dates<\/h2>\n

The start of term in September and the end of term in July is the same for all schools across France. However, other term dates and holidays are staggered to avoid overcrowding during the holiday season. France is divided into three separate zones<\/strong> which have their own term dates. Paris comes under Zone C.<\/strong>
\n 
\nTerm dates for the 2018\/19 academic year are as follows:

Buying school supplies<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re an expat parent, la rentr\u00e9e<\/em> may be a new experience for you. In France children are supposed to buy their own stationery and other school supplies, as these are not provided by the schools. Normally teachers give out a list<\/strong><\/a> of supplies to parents at the end of term in July, so you know exactly what you need to buy. Sometimes the lists can be very specific, so for expat parents this may mean it\u2019s time to brush up on your vocab!

\nOnce you\u2019ve got your list, there are lots of places you can go to find everything you need:
