If you are signing up for the meals program and do not know your child's student identification number, you can put a zero.  The application will still be processed.

St. Mary Parish Schools endeavors to provide food and nutrition to our students even during this time of emergency school closure. As such, the school system is announcing a new program that will deliver meals to the doorstep for free. This program is called Meals-to-You, and it is a partnership between St. Mary Parish Schools, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and Baylor University.

LaGrange Elementary School is participating in the U. S. Census Bureau's Statistics in Schools (SIS) program to unite schools around the country in an effort to count every child in the 2020 Census. 

The national census is conducted every 10 years. Data from this census is used to determine funding for many programs including special education, classroom technology, teacher training, after-school programs, and school lunch assistance. 

In mid-March, your family should begin receiving official Census 2020 mail with instructions on how to respond. By April 1, 2020, every home should receive an invitation to participate in the 2020 Census. You will have three options for responding:

Online
By phone
By mail

LaGrange Elementary School urges every family to participate. The Statistics in Schools flyer in English and Spanish can provide you with additional information for this important upcoming event. You can also find these flyers in our Peachjar E-Flyers area. 

EVERYONE COUNTS

St. Mary Parish has been recognized by Project Tomorrow for its participation and commitment to engaging our stakeholders in local decisions on education issues. The district has earned the Speak Up District of Student Empowerment national distinction for our participation in the Speak Up Research Initiative in October 2019.

Dear LaGrange Elementary Family,
Our library is collecting the Proof of Purchase and Private Reserve labels that are on Community Coffee products, including: coffee, sugar, tea, creamer, and coffee filter boxes. These labels will be used with Cash for Schools to buy our students and teachers much needed books for our library and classrooms. The class that returns the most POP’s (Proof of Purchase) labels will receive a donut party! So please DONUT FORGET to return those labels! Thank you so much for supporting our school!
Sincerely,
Mrs. Caldwell-LES Librarian

Second grade students finished a unit of study on the War of 1812.  They learned the important role Jean Lafitte and other privateers played in helping the United States win the Battle of New Orleans.
