To help them along the way, we have organized the Neighborhood Liaison program which is made up of current and former ASP parents living in your future neighborhoods. Feel free to contact any one of your future neighbors to help get some of your questions answered!

Advancement Office 2013 China Expedition What is Advancement at ASP? We get this question often, so we’ll explain! “Advancement” is a word that can be defined in several ways, but one thing is consistent – it’s about moving forward. At ASP, we’re all about looking ahead. As you settle into life at ASP, you’ll hear about our five-year Strategic Plan and our campus development project. You’ll see teachers walking around with iPads and discussing the “future of learning”. Your students will experience once-in-a-lifetime learning opportunities on a regular basis. These are just a few examples of ways we stay ahead of the curve at ASP. I think the Excellence Fund is a great opportunity for students to strive for and achieve their out-of-the-ordinary goals with the help of their school. The Fund also gives applicants a view into the world of grant-writing, an education in and of itself. – Henry Asch, Grade 10 student The Advancement Office unites all of ASP – our faculty, staff, parents and alumni – to form a community of both “do-ers” and donors to keep ASP moving forward. Whether you are here for two or ten years, we are here to help you be an active community member while you are in Paris and after you depart. We are a busy office with many visitors. We work closely with Admissions and the Parent Faculty Association (PFA) to organize welcome events. In November, we promote the annual appeal – a global initiative inviting everyone to make a gift to support our ASP students and faculty. In January, we collaborate with the Board of Trustees to organize our Bonne Année community cocktail. Connecting our Community We’re here to help you find your “role” at ASP — and feel good about it! In the upcoming year, you’ll hear from Advancement about: Volunteering – Interested in lending your time or skills to benefit ASP? Kim Sheehey, our Community & Alumni Coordinator, works closely with our PFA and parent volunteers to find the right “fit” for each person. You can reach her at ksheehey@asparis.fr or 01 41 12 83 54. Giving – Each year the ASP community is invited to support our students and faculty by giving to the Excellence Fund. This unique and valuable resource allows us to respond to immediate opportunities throughout the school year and is invested in: • Technology for learning • Innovative educational programming • Professional learning opportunities In November, our entire ASP community will be invited to make a gift to our 2013-14 appeal during our “30 Days of Excellence” campaign. We hope you join the community spirit! Being involved with ASP allowed me to very quickly integrate into our new life in France and develop lasting friendships. Co-chairing the Gala extended my involvement within the ASP community and was a wonderful way to raise funds to support the school through the Excellence Fund. I encourage and welcome you to become involved with the ASP community. – Kristen Burd, Parent and 2013 Gala Co-Chair Celebrating – It’s important for us to gather together as a community to celebrate our accomplishments throughout the year. We encourage you to visit the Welcome Program page to discover dates for the grade-level Parent Welcome Cocktails in the fall (you can come to one or several!). Please also mark your calendar for our Bonne Année Cocktail – a complimentary community event sponsored by our Board of Trustees for all parents, faculty and staff – on February 1, 2014.
