This not only helps keep our children safe, but it helps PTA keep track of volunteer hours for the school, which is calculated at the end of the school year.

Students should NOT arrive at school before 7:40

is not provided until this time.
School starts at 8:10 am - Tardiness delays the start of the instructional
day. Please make every effort to have your child here on time. Don't
forget breakfast is FREE and available every morning starting at 7:40 am.
We encourage you to prepay ahead for your child's lunches. This can be arranged with our cafeteria staff or send a note and payment with your child. If your child brings lunch money daily, they can take it to the cafeteria before school, preventing any loss of money during the day. Thank you!
LOST AND FOUND - Have you noticed the shopping carts in the cafeteria? The Co-Op has donated 4 shopping carts for us to use to gather the clothing left around campus. Each week a different cart will be filled with the found clothing. At the end of the fourth week the clothes still in the cart will be donated to charity. Please talk to your children about remembering to gather their clothing at recess. We still have many lost and found items. Clothing is located in the cafeteria. Jewelry is kept in the office. Please write your child’s name near the collar of their sweatshirt or jacket. This will make it easier to identify found clothes. Having their name on their hat, scarf, backpack, and lunch pail is a must as well! Thank you....
We Believe That . . .
1. Lafayette students
take care of each other .
If a student is hurt, everything stops and the nearest
person to the injured student is required to assist that student until he/she is
able to return to the activity.
2. Lafayette students
solve problems in a productive way.
If there is an argument in a game, the arguing students
must settle their differences outside of the game before returning to
play. This means that students will not be held hostage by others who have
a disagreement.
All of our students are trained yearly on the
vocabulary and principles of conflict management. Students learn to solve
problems appropriately, without violence, resulting in a "win-win"
situation.
