We are excited to announce that beginning in mid-January, grades 4-8 will be implementing The Social Institute’s comprehensive program called #WinAtSocial.

The Social Institute is a national leader in curriculum designed to equip students to navigate social media. Grades 4-8 will have bi-weekly advisory sessions where students will meet with their advisor and learn how to make positive, healthy, and high-character choices that fuel their health, happiness, and future success.

An informative parent meeting will be held Wednesday, January 25th at 9:30 a.m. in the Kytle Theater for ALL parents, grades PS2-8th grade. Parents of younger students will also have access to resources on TSI website including a parent tool kit.

At our upcoming Coffee Talks with Sunny for preschool, lower school, and middle school, we will introduce parent groups to our new school counselor, MacKenzie Carter! Mrs. Carter will discuss having challenging conversations with children. You don't want to miss out on this introductory and informative get-together in the Mary Sherman McCord Library!

Each Friday morning throughout the rest of this school year, a trained healthcare team from LSU Health Shreveport will visit Southfield to conduct the testing program using a short nasal swab. Collected samples are sent to a laboratory for testing using PCR technology. Parents who have elected to participate will receive their child’s result via text or email by Saturday evening.
