Dear Lafayette families, I know these are challenging times, but we can make it a little bit easier for our children, by checking in with each other and our Lafayette families via phone; text or video chats. While your child is at home, please make sure to look at the Instructional Resource Page for activities and learning your child can do at home. (in the link below). This page and the COVID-19 Information page is linked to our Lafayette Website home page. It’s very import...ant to keep your student to a regular learning routine. Set aside time for academics and movement breaks. Please reach out to your child’s teacher or myself, if you have any questions, and I will keep you updated with information as it comes available.

As you probably already heard, school is closed from now until April 6th. Keep safe everyone!

Did you know? Lafayette has an active gardening club that takes place every Monday right after school. Head over to the big garden by Cannington Dr. and find the kids learning while having fun. ... Snacks are also provided after each gathering.

Excited to have Madison High School students participate in Read Across America with us at Lafayette. We also engaged in the democratic process, as we held student council elections after listening to candidate speeches. Finally, great discussions came from 5th grade Book Club

Lafayette and See’s Candy have partnered for a fabulous fundraiser! Last week packets were sent home with your child and orders + payments must be returned by March 25th. So there is no time to waste! Please be sure to invite co workers, neighbors, friends and family members to purchase as a portion of the proceeds will be given to the school.

Check out what’s happening in March!

A successful Kids Challenge shows how #lafayettegivesback . We’re proud of our Lafayette Spitfires stepping up and supporting other children in need. Kindness matters. Compassion matters. We all matter !!
