As we already indicated, all options are being fully considered and we will share our final plan by the end of the month. A Frequently Asked Questions will be published next week on the AL website to address the many interrogations our families may have.
It is an understatement to say that this is a very complex global situation and we would like to take the time to thoroughly examine all the aspects in our planning process. We are very confident that the collective effort of each and every member of our school community will be determinant in providing a safe and nurturing learning environment to our students.
Thank you very much for your trust in and strong support of our school.
Have a fun and safe weekend.
Elimane Mbengue
Head of School

Social Work and Counseling Corner
Thank you so much to Meghan Downey for her tireless work to help our AL families. Since March, she has been coordinating with other parents to gather funds, grocery shop and assemble bags of food for families who utilize our food service. We have seen kids faces light up at the receipt of these grocery bags. This is because Meghan took care to include special treats like Easter candy in addition to healthy foods for the whole family. Thank you Meghan. Your work has helped many during these difficult times.
Also, we are offering food deliveries between 11-1:00 on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Please email your campus counselor or social worker to sign up for deliveries. Deliveries currently include sack lunches, family dinners and groceries.
If you would like to pick up food, you may do so between 1-2:00 at Armour on Mondays, Wednesdays and Friday. You do not need to sign up in advance. Just come to the east door on McGee Street. We can provide lunches to all children in your family under the age of 18 even if they do not attend AL.

The third floor of Armour is undergoing renovations in preparation for the opening of Académie Lafayette International High School in August. Take a look at some photos of our English and math classrooms. They have been updated with new flexible classroom furniture and beautiful cabinetry. We will share photos of our new multimedia journalism room and maker space later this summer. We can't wait to get our first freshman class into these spaces!
