Teachers work closely in all areas to provide integrated instruction to the children. Character education is stressed at LaFayette. Our week begins with a morning program every Monday. All students gather in the gymnasium to celebrate birthdays, awards and successes. Lessons focusing on the character education word of the month are provided. Guest speakers and presenters visit to leach our students about interesting topics. Parents are welcome to join us for this fun and educational time each Monday morning.

LaFayette encourages and appreciates parent participation. They have a very dedicated Building Level Steering Committee and a District Level Parent Liaison Group. We offer a plethora of activities throughout the year for students that require parent volunteers. Roller skating parties, movie nights, Secret Santa Shop, and our book fair are successful due to parents who take an active role in their child's education. We welcome guest speakers as well as classroom volunteers.
