Hello Lafayette Families,
I hope everyone enjoyed the beautiful weather over the weekend – it’s finally starting to feel more like fall, and I couldn't be more excited!
Students, we encourage you to wear teal this Tuesday, September 10, in recognition of World Suicide Prevention Day. Let’s show our support and raise awareness for this important cause.
Families, please check your child's backpack tomorrow for their interim report. Take some time to review it with them, and if you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to reach out to your child’s teacher.
September is Attendance Awareness Month, and we truly appreciate your efforts in ensuring your children attend school regularly when they are healthy. Consistent attendance is vital for building strong relationships and maintaining academic progress. Students are considered chronically absent when they miss 18 or more days in a 180-day school year, which is roughly 2-3 days per month. Let’s work together to help our students succeed by ensuring they’re present and engaged. Attendance Notes
