Good Evening Lafayette Families,

Tonight is the last night of the Read-a-thon fundraiser. Please encourage your child to log their minutes one last time. We will be accepting donations until 11:59 p.m..

The Virginia Standards of Learning (SOL) test will be administered to grades 3-5 beginning April 25 - May 20. Please see the testing calendar below. We will also send home a paper copy this week.

The additional information contained in this newsletter serves as a valuable resource to keep you updated on important information.

Lost and Found

Please consider writing your child’s first and last name inside their jacket. This will help us quickly return lost items. If your child is missing any items, please stop by the school and check our lost and found.

Lion Pride

Lafayette students have been earning Lion Pride tickets for showing that they are SAFE, CARING, and a ROLE MODEL. Students have been shopping at the Lion Pride store and earning Inchy BookWorm coins to use in the book vending machine.

If your child is ill, please don’t send them to school. If they test positive for COVID-19, please call the school at 540-310-0029 and keep them at home. If your child is waiting for test results, please keep them home as well. Please, call the school if someone in your home has tested positive for COVID or if your child has been exposed and keep them at home until you speak with our team.

If your child has to stay home due to quarantine or isolation, please call us. We will be sure your child has work from school, their laptop/ipad, and that they are enrolled in our virtual learning experience “Second Shift Teaching”. A second shift teacher will zoom with your student after-school hours. Let your child’s teacher know if you need more information on Second Shift, if your child must stay home due to COVID-19.

Please, see our divisions protocols here (and on the website)
