from the Head of School
Dear AL Community,
Spring is finally in the air! While we are once again not able to send our students on their class trips, the children are still enjoying spending time outside and with each other. I cannot tell you how great it is to hear the children laughing and playing outside, and French being spoken in the hallways and classrooms. Our buildings are alive again!
The MAP test has started at all three campuses and is going smoothly. We appreciate the parents of our online students working with us to bring their children to school to take the test.
There were a few hiccups with Summer School registration issues in our new student information system but we believe that everything is now fixed and running as it should. If you still need login information or help with your account, please email itdepartment@academielafayette.org.
For Summer School, all campuses will open 15 minutes before classes start so that we can continue to follow our social distancing guidelines. Class times will be as follows:
- 8:15 - 3:45 pm for Oak and Cherry (building opens at 8 am)
- 8:00 - 3:30 pm for Armour (building opens at 7:45 am)
The online parent-elect board member election will begin next Friday May 7th. Click here for more information about the candidates.
Have a fantastic weekend.
Elimane Mbengue
Head of School

INFO SHARING
Greetings Académie Lafayette Parents,
Upper Room is happy to announce that we will be providing after-school care for Académie Lafayette's two summer school sessions: June 16 - July 2, 2021 and July 7 - July 23, 2021.
The program will run from the end of the school day until 6:00pm Monday through Friday. Activities will include music, art, PE and games. Due to this being a separate program from our school year after-school program, all families will need to complete an application, pay a $25 registration fee through PayPal, and complete and submit the automatic payment form even if you have completed an application earlier in the school year. Fees will be a flat rate of $60 per week for the first child and $45 per week for each sibling. Click here for additional information about the Summer After-school Program. Click here to register.

Dear parents,
Please take advantage of the uniform closet! If you have anything clean and not ripped or stained to donate please send it with your child to be dropped in the school office. Donations can also be dropped in the clear plastic bin on my front porch: 4235 Kenwood Avenue. I am a parent volunteer and organize the Oak closet (which is quite full right now) so if you have any particular needs (Cherry or Oak) I'm happy to look for you, sizes K-5. Contact sallyk1975@gmail.com, 816-699-3109. For 6th grade and up uniform needs, please contact Diane Rizzo who handles Armour. Please be as specific as possible as to what you're wanting (size, color) and we will try to pack you a bag. If your child is at Oak on Thursdays let me know and I will deliver it to your child directly. Here to help! Warmly, Sally King and Diane Rizzo
