Dear AL Community,
Despite the school year being almost over, there are still many things happening:
- Funding equity bill update
Yesterday, the Missouri General Assembly passed the funding equity bill! Starting in 23-24, charter school students will receive the same amount of money from the state as their school district peers. We cannot thank you enough for the trips to Jefferson City as well as the many phone calls made and emails sent to representatives!
- New charter school sponsor
The board of directors signed the sponsorship agreement with Saint Louis University on Monday at their monthly meeting. We look forward to this partnership with our new sponsor.
Please remember to vote for the parent you would like to see elected to the board of directors before Monday, 5/16, at 5 pm. An email from ElectionBuddy was sent earlier this week to the first contact listed in Tyler. There is one vote per family.
All parents will soon receive a link to the Panorama survey. Starting this year, this survey will be administered to all of our staff, 3rd to 12th grade students, and parents, in order to gauge how we are doing. This survey is one of several tools we use to see where we are hitting the mark and where we need to improve in regard to our school culture.
- Summer school end date change
Please note that summer school dates have been adjusted to end on Friday, July 15th, due to staffing and enrollment numbers. Also, please note that Académie Lafayette will be closed on Monday, June 20th (Juneteenth).
Have a great weekend!

Reminders:
- If your student has two or more COVID symptoms they are required to get a PCR test or a doctor’s note with an alternative diagnosis before returning to school.
- If your student has a positive test please notify the campus nurse within 24 hours.
- With the approval of the Kansas City Health Department, we are no longer contact tracing individual cases of COVID within our buildings, though this may change in the event of a cluster of cases. In the event of an exposure, a class or cohort notice will be sent so that families can watch for possible symptom development.
Click here to read the safety guidelines and view our dashboard. Our dashboard shows our number of cases, quarantines, and vaccinated contact by campus. The dashboard is updated at the end of every week. You can upload your child's covid-19 vaccine records here. Covid-19 testing at school: Click here and click here for more information.

The Musketeer March is Next Week |
Register your students to participate in this fun event! We have brought back this energized fundraiser which allows students to participate in an exercise-driven event where they can dance, wiggle, walk, run, jog, hop, or skip to the theme of Académie Lafayette’s fundraising goal. Every May, this event comes to life with the help and support of our staff, teachers, volunteers, and community. The Musketeer March helps Académie Lafayette reach goals and bring health and wellness to our students!
