Dear Parents and Friends of Tchefuncte Middle,

Welcome to the 2006 - 2007 school year.  The administration, faculty, and staff welcome you and your child to Tchefuncte Middle School.  As an administrator it is an honor to serve as principal of such a fine school of educational excellence.  This school year will once again challenge your children to become independent and resourceful learners.  We are all Partners in Education as we are "Teaming Up For Success " for the coming school year.  A vital component of our school’s mission is to nurture a sense of pride within our students for their country, school, community, and world.  We are excited about our school theme providing a positive avenue to highlight the partnership that we all participate in as we work towards our learning goals. Please share with us the responsibility of continuing to instill within your children a sense of ownership for Tchefuncte Middle School.

I firmly believe that our parents are the most influential teachers for our children.  Our students look to you for both emotional and physical support.  Parents serve as educational role models to their children when they are learners themselves.  Tchefuncte Middle School believes that students, parents, and teachers all share equally in the educational development of the whole child.  Please know that the administration has an Open Door Policy that encourages positive communication. Your ideas, constructive criticisms, and solutions can contribute toward Tchefuncte Middle achieving its maximum potential. 

Included in this handbook are school rules, policies, and procedures that are in compliance with the St. Tammany Parish School Board.  Please bear in mind that we service in excess of 830 students whose parents come from diverse backgrounds. These rules, policies, and procedures were developed through experience that allows our employees to maximize opportunities for the majority of our student body and not always for the individual.  Please read the handbook carefully with your son/daughter.

Our school motto, “Laying Foundations for the Future”, reminds us of our mission for the students we serve.  Our goal has been to create a strong base of academic learning and educational enrichment that will guide our students through a global society.  I am confident that as a team, our efforts will prove to be successful.  I look forward to meeting and working with each of you during the 2006 - 2007 school year.

Respectfully,

Roxanne O. Lagarde, Principal
