from the head of school
Dear AL Community,
Summer school just completed its second and last session. I would like to congratulate the students for a successful learning experience. I appreciate the great job done by our teachers and staff in planning and implementing our first virtual summer school. As usual, we will continue to analyze the feedback from parents and teachers and improve our instructional practices.
Our Reentry Task force has almost completed the 2021 school plan. It will be shared with the parents on Friday July 31. Parents will have until Wednesday, August 5th to change their options. They will have the opportunity to review the school plan before making a final commitment that will be binding for the first semester. We have published Frequently Asked Questions that you can access here and on our school website.
Our goal is to maintain a limited class size to allow for proper social distancing. More information regarding the class schedule and daily routine will be shared in the plan to be published next week.
Thank you for your patience and support.
Elimane Mbengue
Head of School

INFO SHARING
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!
