Dear families,
It was a pleasure and a privilege to spend another school year with your children. While it was a very busy year, it was successful, and our students continue to thrive. Académie Lafayette is a great school because of its caring (and flexible) community of teachers, staff, board members, and supportive families.
A few more things to mention in this last newsletter of the school year:
-
I visited St Teresa's Academy yesterday to see their common learning areas for inspiration for the design of ours at Armour. I was very happy and proud to hear how well our graduates are doing there. Some of them are even math tutors!
-
A couple of weeks ago, the Kansas City Star ran a story about AL alum Jacob Sykes. He went to Rockhurst High School after AL, and is now heading to Harvard. " He scored a 34 on the ACT as a freshman, graduated with a 4.23 GPA and signed to play defensive line at Harvard in the fall despite offers from Stanford, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Northwestern and others." Congratulations, Jacob!
-
An exit survey was emailed to all 8th grade parents to give families the opportunity to share with us their experience as AL parents. Please take the time to fill it in as we value your feedback. Remember to check your spam folders! Email communication@academielafayette.org if you did not receive a survey.

The K-5 transition continues to move smoothly. We look forward to welcoming the students to their new campus. A visit of the Armour building for the middle school parents and students will be organized once the renovations are complete.
Please let me know if you have any questions or suggestions. Thank you all for your trust and invaluable support.
Have a wonderful summer, bonnes vacances!
Elimane Mbengue,
Head of School
