La France's Report to the People

Spring 2022

Our staff, students, and parents are the most resilient group of people in the world, and I am so proud of everyone for weathering another year under the pandemic. We can't wait to be fully back to normal next year. Thank you so much for your continued support. We love our students, families, and community.

Title I

La France Elementary is a Title I School which means we receive funds from the federal government to assist in providing additional instructional resources, technology enhancement, instructional staff, and educational opportunities, based on our poverty index.

Title I Funds

At La France Elementary, funds from Title 1 are used to fund:

* Math manipulatives

* Growth of non-fiction & fiction texts beyond typical classroom library

* Lowered class size

* Reflex for math fact fluency

* Literacy Footprints for 5k - 3rd grade and interventionists

Technology in the Classroom

La France is immersed in technology with support from our board and district technology staff. Our students and staff have the use of digital cameras, chromebooks, interactive learning panels in the classrooms, and a computer instructional facilitator. As part of our "1 to World" initiative, all students have all been issued a digital device. Our fourth, fifth, and sixth grade students also have chromebooks that can be used at school and at home for instructional purposes. Our 4K students have tablets. All classrooms have ClearTouch boards and document cameras.

Bring on the Kids!

Our doors open to car riders and bus riders at 7:10am each school day. Bus and car riders are dismissed from class daily at 2:30 pm. It is important for everyone to be at school on time each day, unless you or someone in your family is sick. Please communicate with the school nurse if your child is sick.
