Possible Inclement Weather Announcement
What a fantastic day in Mrs. Threlkeld's first-grade class! Our young scholars took their learning to a whole new level with a fun and memorable bonding ceremony for the QU sound. They discovered how the letters Q and U work together to create new words, turning a lesson into a celebration of phonics! It was a great day of interactive learning, laughter, and creativity.
A GOLDEN PERFORMANCE FOR LCSD PRE-K PROGRAM
We are thrilled to share that our LES Pre-K achieved a perfect score of 100/100 on the end-of-year Kindergarten Rate of Readiness.
MKAS2: 25/25 points
CELA: 25/25 points
CLASS: 50/50 points
Congratulations to our amazing Pre-K students and their fantastic teachers. You’ve truly earned your gold!
The Mississippi Department of Education (MDE) has established a rate of readiness for each
collaborative site as part of the Effectiveness Evaluation of Early Learning Collaborative and
Other Pre-K Classrooms. The rate of readiness is a score assigned to each site through the completion of specific evaluation tools that assess how children grow academically and developmentally throughout a school year and how the classroom environment and teaching practices support children’s learning.
We've set sail! Thank you to our families, community, OPD, and LCSD for getting us rolling this morning.
As we get used to traffic patterns, the flow will move even better. Thank you for your patience and assistance as we get our students to their buildings safely.

📚 The Literacy Bus made a special visit to Lafayette Upper Elementary's summer school program! 🚍✨ Students had the opportunity to choose books to take home and participated in some fun games.
Daily reading can significantly improve a child’s reading comprehension, helping them become more proficient and confident readers. Consistent practice enhances vocabulary, understanding of text structure, and critical thinking skills, laying a strong foundation for academic success.
A heartfelt thank you to Cara Buffington for bringing the Literacy Bus to Lafayette Upper Elementary. This support will help nurture the educational growth and imagination of our students. ❤️📖
