Board of Trustees Update - January 2026

Dear FI Community,

Our French International School of Oregon thrives because of the energy, talent, and generosity of our community. As we look ahead to an exciting period of growth and strategic planning, we invite you to get involved and help shape FI’s future.

There are several meaningful ways to participate:

Become a Trustee

Our Board of Trustees plays a vital role in guiding the school’s long-term vision, ensuring financial sustainability, and advancing our mission. If you are interested in contributing your expertise and perspective at the governance level, we would love to hear from you.

Join a Committee

Committees are where much of the school’s collaborative work happens — from program and community life to finance, governance, and campus planning. Joining a committee is a wonderful way to engage with fellow parents and faculty while making a tangible impact.

Attend the Annual Meeting

Please mark your calendar for our Annual Meeting on Tuesday, February 3rd at 5:00 PM. This gathering is an opportunity to hear updates on school initiatives, celebrate progress, and connect with the broader FI community.

FI’s mission — to develop curious and critical thinkers through an immersive multilingual education in an inclusive community — is made real through collective participation. Whether you have time to lead, support, advise, or simply stay informed, your involvement matters.

If you are interested in becoming a trustee, joining a committee, or would like more information about any of these opportunities, please reach out — we would be delighted to connect.

With gratitude and enthusiasm for what lies ahead,

Sophia Skaar
Vice Chair of the Board of Trustees
French International School of Oregon
