Good evening Lafayette Families,
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and is ready to start a fresh week!
As a reminder, September is Attendance Awareness Month, and regular school attendance plays a vital role in your child’s success. Students are considered chronically absent once they miss 18 or more school days, which is approximately 2-3 days per month. If illness or unforeseen circumstances arise, please make sure to submit an attendance note online. Attendance Notes
Interims went home last week. Please take some time to review your child’s interim report and reach out to their teacher if you have any concerns. Don't wait until report cards; early communication is key to supporting your child’s progress.
This week, our Kindergarten students will begin their VALLSS (Virginia Language and Literacy Screening System) assessment. Please ensure your child is present and on time so our teachers can complete testing within the scheduled window.
Tomorrow, Monday, September 16, is our Fall Fling Fun Run! Be sure to check out the flyer below for details on the specific times for each grade level. Fall Fling Information
Families, please note that students are not permitted to bring caffeinated beverages to school. This includes soda, coffee, and energy drinks. If students bring these items, they will be asked to put them away in a sealed container with a lid, or they will be asked to dispose of them.
Lastly, if your student hasn’t received their book buddy yet, make sure to sign up for the SchoolStore.com fundraiser and turn in those prize codes. Let’s ROAR for reading and fundraising success and keep the fun going while supporting our school!
