The 2022-23 ALIHS’ yearbook is ready! Yes, you read this correctly. If you have already ordered one at the end of last school year, we’ve got you covered. Want one? Click here to order one today!

Please note this is NOT the K-8 yearbook or the 23-24 ALIHS yearbook. Orders for those will open later this year.

Thanks so much to those of you who attended our open house earlier this month. We very much enjoyed showing you around the high school.

Shadowing: If you have not already done so, please consider signing up for a shadow day for your student. Students who sign up will come upstairs to shadow at ALIHS for the majority of the school day. Within a week of completing this form, you will receive an email with your assigned shadow day and time as well as information about where to meet. Students will miss their 8th grade classes while shadowing and will be responsible for making up any missed work.  

Parent/Guardian Tours: Interested in taking a tour of the high school during a school day? Please email Liz Seely, lseely@academielafayette.org, to get started.

Get ready for ALIHS's first ever Winter formal dance! Come enjoy a night of dancing, treats and merriment. Tickets are $10 and can be purchased at the door or at alpto.org soon.

On Friday November 10, 2023, four Oak first grade classes joined us for the Putting the Garden to Bed project. They pulled out the dead plants. They observed bugs, worms, cocoons, soil structure and root systems. After the beds were cleared, they put leaves and straw over the gardens to prepare for a long winter sleep. At the table stations, they studied the roots and leaves of fall harvested vegetables (radishes, cabbages, pink celery, lettuce, broccoli and cauliflower). They collaborated on a poster sized art memento where they each drew what they thought would be down under the dirt over the winter. We learned a lot of things about the seasonal cycle in the garden. 

We had 7 parent volunteers to help at each station and who read a book in English and the classes reviewed a related book in French. The book "Up In the Garden, Down in the Dirt." describes the full garden cycle. The book starts at the very beginning of the garden season and goes through the end of the gardening season, the last few pages are about the fall and describes the hibernation of the bugs and critters at the end of the season as they burrow down and ready for winter. The parent readers emphasized that this is where we are in the garden cycle and the second book described what would happen during the winter months.
