from the Head of School
Dear AL Community,
February is usually the most active winter weather month in Kansas City. The past few weeks have been tough but the forecast is looking much warmer as soon as next week. It won't be long before summer is here! We know that families need to make plans and would like to share our Summer School dates with you: -
First session: Wed, June 16 - Friday, July 2
-
Second session: Wed, July 7 - Friday, July 23
School will be closed July 5th and 6th (4th of July Break) as well as from July 26th to August 17th. At this time, we plan to offer bus service and after-school care through Upper Room. Summer school will be an opportunity to make up learning loss related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, we strongly encourage students to attend both sessions. The delayed Summer School start will allow teachers and students to rest after a very taxing year.
We are excited to have our 7th and 8th graders back in the building next week! As always, please take a few minutes to review our safety protocols before heading back.
Last but not least, I would like to announce that AL has hired Celia Liptak as our development director. Please join me in welcoming her to our wonderful school community.
Have a restful weekend.
Elimane Mbengue
Head of School

The timeline of enrollment for Académie Lafayette International High School has changed to ensure we have the appropriate staffing and course offering available for our students. As of 2020-2021 the intent to return form is required to be submitted by February 22nd 2021. This will allow your student to participate in choosing their class schedule for the 2021-2022 school year in the spring. It will still be required to complete full re-enrollment during the summer.

To be fair and transparent with all prospective families, we want to be able to tell them how many seats are available and how many seats will be taken by siblings. Your help is essential. Please fill out an application for your kindergarten sibling today.
Pre-K Siblings Seats: We are also continuing our partnership through the Kansas City Pre-K Cooperative to offer Académie Lafayette families that qualify for free and reduced lunch the opportunity to apply for a limited amount of free pre-K seats for 2021-2022 school year. All current AL siblings will not be guaranteed a seat. The child must be age 4 prior to September 1st, 2021. This classroom will be off site at the newly constructed Emmanuel Family and Child Development Center 4736 Prospect Avenue, Kansas City, MO 64130.
