Welcome to Lafayette Elementary School. At Lafayette Elementary School, we take pride in our strong academic program and in our commitment to family and community. Education at Lafayette School is child-centered and focuses on teaming with parents to prepare our students for the future. Our academic focus was writing. Many of our teachers attended the Step-Up to Writing workshops and were able to implement many of these ideas as part of our school-wide staff development. Our library houses the most extensive, up-to-date collection in Eureka. Students, staff, and parents check out over 25,000 books a year! Each classroom boasts access to the Internet through recently purchased computers and, in some classrooms, SmartBoard technology, which combines the functions of a white board, computer, and projector. Students have opportunities to participate in numerous after-school activities, including cross-country running, track and field, musical theater club, and our student council. Our daily after-school program offers help with homework and extra support for struggling readers. It also engages our students in sports activities, crafts, cooking, music, cultural explorations, and much more. At Lafayette, community involvement is strong. The PTA is an active, growing, integral part of our school and its functions. The School Site Council, made up of parents and members of the faculty, identifies common goals for school improvement. Our classroom teachers value parent and grandparent helpers. We want to work together with you to build confident learners. In the spring, work began on our Modernization Bond Projects. Plans indicated many upgrades including remodeled classrooms, library, restrooms, newly expanded office/teacher workroom, new kindergarten classrooms, new Learning Center/EAST science Lab, and upgrading our school entrance. |
