Welcome (back) to Lannoye Elementary School!

We are an enthusiastic and dedicated group of staff and students ready to continue our teaching and learning in 2024-2025!

If you haven't visited, Lannoye is a special place. We are a family! We learn together, share the responsibility for our students' well being and provide a safe and engaging place for them to learn when they are in our care! We are not perfect, but we work hard to improve, and we love your children.

We are looking forward to celebrating the uniqueness of every child and the growth they will make this year!

We are excited to announce that we will be using a program called PurposeFull People this year. This program teaches skills that will help students be successful in school and in life. We believe that students should have safe, predictable places to learn where they feel included. Students should have healthy and helpful connections with teachers and classmates. They should also experience learning that will help them tackle challenges inside and outside of school. PurposeFull People is more than a set of lessons – it is a partnership between schools and families to create a place where students feel like they belong and learn skills that will help them be the best they can be!

PurposeFull People has three main goals for students:

• Be Kind: Social skills like listening, friendship, solving conflicts and leadership. (Empathy, Respect & Cooperation)
• Be Strong: Skills that help students focus, stay organized and set goals. (Responsibility, Courage & Perseverance)
• Be Well: Skills that help students handle their emotions and deal with stress. (Gratitude, Honesty & Creativity)

We will send letters home about the skills being taught each month. Each letter will include some ways to build these skills at home, discussion starters and fun challenges you can try with your family.
