The mission of R.C. LaPerche Elementary School, as an inclusive learning community devoted to high standards and best teaching practices for all students, is to inspire life-long learning and to develop responsible, self-confident children capable of effective communication and problem solving, through a collaboration of parents, teachers, students, and the community, which fosters a safe, respectful environment, recognizing diversity and individuality.
Can you believe we are one week away? The educators at LaPerche are looking forward to seeing all of our students on Tuesday, August 28th! We will have our first Morning Community Meeting starting at 8:50 so don't be late! I am looking forward to meeting each of you.
