Re-enrollment is now open for the 2026–2027 school year and summer school. All current families must complete the online Enrollment Survey and required forms so we can plan staffing, transportation, and student support for next year.

Académie Lafayette uses the PowerSchool Parent Portal for registration. The process is fully online and must be completed for each student who plans to return.

Please complete re-enrollment by Feb. 27th. Summer school registration must be completed by this date to guarantee enrollment. Questions? Contact enrollment@academielafayette.org. 

Armour Families: Please do not drop off students or park:

• in the bus zone on the West side of the school (Warwick Street, past the school parking lot gate).
• in the field parking lot to park and/or drop off. Our students need those assigned spots!
• in the International Apartment Resident Parking area off McGee Street during arrival/dismissal. Parents can use the free business parking lot.

Also, do not stop in the middle of the street to let students out of vehicles. We care about our students' safety!

The Oak Wassail (pronounced Woss-uhl) is a lively orchard celebration (bénédiction des arbres) on the Oak street side of the building, with singing, shared cider, and toasts, honoring apple trees to ensure abundant harvests in the future. Games and activities will also be provided for students to engage with our orchard and learn about seasonal nature topics. Sunday March 1 from noon to 3 pm. À votre santé!

If you want to come and talk and share your career with our students at Cherry, please sign up.

Come build robots out of legos and program them to move, make sounds and react to colors with us at Cherry Campus! Our 3rd and 4th grade program is for getting their feet wet and trying something new. We do ask that 5th graders that sign up have a genuine interest in robotics. Sign up for the seat lottery by midnight on February 22nd. Space is limited. Scholarships are available.

Our elementary club is run entirely by parent (and grandparent!) volunteers. As a benefit for volunteering, your student will be guaranteed a seat in robotics! Sign up to get more information about volunteering.

EIP 2026: Cirque

Annual Auction & Gala

Saturday, May 2, 2026

The Gallery at Power & Light

To become a volunteer or contribute to the auction, connect with Hollie Vogel at hvogel@academielafayette.org.

Earlier this month, the Académie Lafayette Middle School Math Team placed 2nd at the 2026 Western Missouri Chapter Mathcounts competition — earning a spot at the Missouri State competition in early March. This marks their fourth straight year qualifying for state.

A standout moment this year: four students placed in the Top 10 individual competitors, setting a new team record.

Mathcounts is known for its challenging problems and strong competition. These results reflect years of dedication, practice, and perseverance. Congratulations to all fourteen of our middle schoolers (and coach Kalahurka) who rose to the challenge — we are proud of you!

The Banana Splitz - an AL 4th & 5th grade basketball team - was recognized during half time at a UMKC women's basketball game.

We need YOU to join the Evening in Paris Auction Solicitation Team!

All materials are prepared - we just need helping hands to reach out to local businesses. With nearly 200 businesses still waiting for a volunteer, even a small effort makes a big difference. Many hands make light work, and since the auction is the heart of our event, your help will truly make it shine!

Have a unique item or experience to donate? Community Parties (Wine Walk, Shrimp Boil, Survivor) or special items, like last year’s lab-created diamond studs, add excitement and make the event even more memorable.

Contact Hollie Vogel if interested, hvogel@academielafayette.org.
