2019 MAP Test Results
Dear AL Community,
I am very proud to share with you the 2019 MAP (Missouri Assessment Program) test results. Académie Lafayette continues to be the highest performing charter school in the state of Missouri and our students out perform their peers in all the suburban school districts in math, science and english language arts.
I would like to congratulate our hard working students and express my deep gratitude to our committed and caring staff.
As we continue to analyze all the data and make adequate improvements, we are deeply committed to successfully serving all learners by building a school culture that is caring, inclusive and equitable.
Thank you all for your strong support of our school.

We have so much to be grateful for right now. We would like to begin by
thanking our families for such a successful book fair! A huge thank you to Karen Hand who organized this year's book fair. However,
none of it would be possible without the amazing volunteers that staff the book fair. All of them were outstanding ... Beth Canipe, Rachel Moyer, Patsy Campos, Melissa Victorine, Anne Hoffman, Catherine VandeVelde, Brande Molina, Jill Johnson, Gayle Levy, Jennie Hanna, Sarah Young, and Lynne Yarnevich. We were able to purchase $2338 in books for the school including 150 French books as well as over 200 books for Title One to distribute to students.
Thank you for coming to Generations Day! It was a wonderful showing (over 500 guests at Oak alone) of what great families we have!
Thank you,
Leslie Houfaidi
Oak Principal

Parking at the Oak Campus
 The past few events that we have invited parents to visit students during the school day, we have witnessed a number of parents parked in the lot where they should not be, blocking in other cars, blocking entrances and exits, and the general flow of traffic.
Please respect designated parking spots in the parking lot, if there are no available spots, you must find parking on the street (while also paying attention to where you can legally park). It is very difficult to find the owners of illegally parked cars, and if the problem persists, we will be forced to have cars towed or ticketed.
Thank you for your understanding,
Jessica Wallace
Oak Campus Office Manager
