La France's Report to the People

Our full school report card can be found here.

This school year has been one to celebrate. Our students showcased their talents through musicals, performances, and a vibrant Art and Literacy Night. They built connections and school spirit at our school dance and Fun Run, and enjoyed a successful Field Day.

Learning extended beyond the classroom as students participated in meaningful experiences, including a 6th grade career awareness trip and overnight field trips for grades 4 through 6. Academically, we saw strong growth across all grade levels, supported by the implementation of iReady diagnostics and myPath to better target student needs.

We also made progress in improving systems for our families, as parents will now be able to complete student registration online for the upcoming school year.

It has been a year marked by growth, opportunity, and continued progress.

La France Elementary is proud to be a technology-rich school, made possible through the continued support of our school board and district technology team. Students and staff have access to a wide range of digital tools, including Chromebooks, tablets, digital cameras, and interactive learning panels. Through our “1 to World” initiative, every student has been issued an individual device, with students in grades 4K through 6 utilizing Chromebooks during the school day. Classrooms are also equipped with ClearTouch boards and document cameras to enhance instruction, engagement, and access to learning.

Each school day, our doors open at 7:10 AM to welcome car and bus riders. Afternoon dismissal begins at 2:30 PM for all students. Being on time every day sets the tone for success, so we encourage all families to make punctuality a priority—unless illness prevents it. If your child is sick, please contact our school nurse to keep us informed and help us support your child’s health.
