I believe that creating a welcoming community is a team effort. Our administration team, teachers, and office staff work well together ensuring families are supported. Successful virtual experiences come with collaboration from caretakers, students, and school staff with a like-minded focus on student achievement. All students can learn, but as educators we must find ways to ensure this happens. Working as a united team not only provides a welcoming community for our families, but also creates a positive working environment for our staff as well.
Lafayette Connections Academy has a robust and challenging curriculum, but also wonderful teachers that support our students both cognitively and emotionally. As our teachers provide support, they also project excitement and positivity, which encourages students to reciprocate those feelings as well. With help from our wonderful counseling team, they play a pivotal role in career planning and readiness, whether that prepares students for graduation then college, military, trade schools, the workforce, or other opportunities they pursue.
