In East Feliciana Public Schools, safe and empowered students are at the heart of everything we do. This week, a few members of our East Feliciana High School football team participated in a press conference ahead of their Thursday matchup against Belaire in the Battle on the Bluff Jamboree at A.W. Mumford Stadium on the campus of Southern University. While there, they were able to talk strategy and leadership with East Baton Rouge mayor president Sid Edwards. We are so proud of our East Feliciana High School football program for cultivating empowered students who lead with Excellence, Every Day! Get your tickets today to catch your tenacious Tigers in action at the Mayor Edwards’ Jamboree this Thursday at 5:30 PM!

CURRICULUM SPOTLIGHT: AMPLIFY SCIENCE

Third graders in Ms. Griffith’s science class at Jackson Elementary School are gaining understanding of forces and how magnetic forces attract or repel with certain objects as part of their Amplify Science curriculum, which is designed around students exploring different scientific phenomena through real-world case studies and simulations.

On the first day of school, first grade students in Mrs. Glascock’s class at Slaughter Elementary School read the book 'First Day Jitters' and drank some “jitter juice” to get rid of first day jitters. We are so proud of all of our students for their strong start to this school year!

As we complete our second week of school, our students are already hard at work mastering skills from our high-quality curricula. In East Feliciana Public Schools, we prioritize strong, meaningful, and targeted reading and math instruction in elementary grades; meaningful project-based learning to discover and develop student interests in middle grades; and high school courses and activities designed for students to participate in relevant opportunities and earn meaningful credentials that prepare them for postsecondary success in college and career. Check out this week’s district newsletter at efschools.net/page/goodnews to see that learning in action!

EDUCATORS LEARNING TOGETHER: Members of the East Feliciana Public Schools District Leadership Team engage in a Professional Learning Community meeting once every two weeks. At their most recent meeting, they deepened their understanding of the district’s strategic plan through scenario based learning.

From the Board Room to the Classroom: Members of the East Feliciana Parish School Board started the school year with a midday learning retreat as the unpacked the district’s strategic plan.

Our board members play a critical role in the mission of East Feliciana Public Schools:

Across every department and every school, we will be good stewards of how we use our time, maximize our resources, and support our people - from the board room to the classroom we will embody Excellence, Every Day.

LEARNING THROUGH LEADERSHIP & SERVICE: Under the instruction and guidance of teacher Tyrese Chambers, East Feliciana High School’s carpentry class built upgraded seating for East Feliciana STEAM Academy’s courtyard and Clinton Elementary School’s bus loading zone.

STEAM Community Connections: At the August meeting of the East Feliciana Parish School Board, renewable energy company Ecoplexus announced a $1500 donation to the East Feliciana STEAM Academy. Engaging our community in order to create opportunities that empower student is a key priority of our strategic plan.

In order to ensure ALL our students are safe and empowered, we’re committed to providing ongoing training and development for ALL our educators. This week, Exceptional Student Services staff members from all of our schools engaged in training entitled, “Addressing Behavior of Students with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).”

Every minute matters in East Feliciana Public Schools. Whether students are waiting in line, transitioning to lunch, or walking off the bus, every adult plays a role in reinforcing the foundational skills our students need. That’s why we’re committed to providing ongoing training and development for ALL of our educators, including our transportation staff, who participated in an inservice on August 4!

In East Feliciana Public Schools, we believe that strong schools are built on strong relationships—with families, educators, and the broader community working together to support student success. We encourage families to engage with our community partners this Saturday!

Our new teachers participated in a two-day new teacher induction during the last week in July. The purpose of this program was to introduce these educators to our student-driven instructional model. Priority number one in our new strategic plan is ensuring aligned and targeted instruction for each student. Providing the ongoing coaching, training, and development each of our educators need is one of the key ways we provide each student with the instruction  they need! We can’t wait to see these new educators hit the ground running in their classrooms on Monday!
