"We give you good news. All students (tuition-paying) at the school have succeeded in official examinations (3rd, 6th grade). Of the students who come in the afternoon (tuition-free), only one did not succeed. All students in the 9th have succeeded." --Sr. Josseline.

Note: The Haitian educational system is currently divided into preschool, fundamental, and secondary schools. Fundamental school consists of three “cycles”. Cycle one contains first year of fundamental through third year of fundamental, cycle two is fourth year of fundamental through sixth year of fundamental; and cycle three, seventh year of fundamental through ninth year of fundamental. Catholic schools follow the same grade structure. Technical schools vary somewhat in the age of students they serve, ranging from out-of-school youth of all ages, to secondary and post-secondary aged students.

 Sr. Josseline has received a new assignment. She will be moving to the Novitiate community in Thorland. You can see more about the Salesian Sisters at http://fmahaiti.org. The website is in French but the pictures show many details.

Sr. Emiliene Michel will become the new director for the School of the Infant Jesus.
