LAF Update

Start Strong Assessments
Lafayette School will take these assessments beginning on Tuesday, September 21st through Tuesday, September 28th. There will be two one-hour-long tests given on two separate days. The students will not take the test at the same time which, allows for minimal interruption to our school schedule. You can click here for more information. Your child's teacher will be in touch to share the specific dates that their class will be taking the assessments.
Please email Marco Freyre with any questions about the assessments mfreyre@chatham-nj.org.

Students may report to the front lobby to make a call from their devices at the end of the day. Texting and talking on the phone while traveling through the hallways is not allowed. Frequent reminders to comply will result in confiscation of the phone. Parents will be contacted. Digital readers are allowed in school as a reading tool not a gaming device The school is not responsible for lost, broken or stolen items.

Our Scholastic Book Fair is a reading event that brings the books students want to read right into the school. It’s a wonderful selection of engaging and affordable books for your Lafayette students' reading level. Children will go twice to the fair during school hours: once to preview the books and write a wish list and the second time to purchase.
