I just received word from AATF that the online registration site should be available early next week. A link to the new and improved registration will be here: http://www.frenchteachers.org/concours/Resources/Contest%20Registration%20Information.html

Deadlines will be pushed into early January to ensure everyone has time to register his/her students.

As a reminder, the testing windows are:

Concours UPDATE (November 17, 2016)

Online Registration should open any day now. An e-mail will be sent to all past participating teachers when registration is available. If you have not participated in the past and have not yet sent me an e-mail, please do now so I can add you to my mailing list: emass@frenchcontest.org

Due to the delay in the online store opening, deadlines will be postponed a bit to give you ample time to register your students.
