Put your dancing shoes on for the Sock Hop at Louise Archer. The event will be on Friday, November 15th. We will have food in the Cafeteria from 6:00 – 7:30 pm and a DJ in the Gym from 6:00 – 8:30pm. As always, our 6th graders will hop the tables and raise funds via tips for their 6th grade celebration.
Please note, this is NOT a drop off event. Chaperones, parents and caregivers must ensure that children follow schoolwide hallway expectations as they move from the cafeteria to the gym. No children are permitted on the playground or blacktop during this event.
Please consider volunteering and/or donating needed supplies via this Sign-up for this event to make it a success! Information for presale purchase for food & drink will be provided closer to the event. We greatly appreciate your help and we can’t wait to host this fun event for students and families!

First Walking Wednesday This Week
Start your day on the right foot by joining your classmates and your community to take steps toward better physical and mental health. The Walking Wednesday program, part of the Safe Routes to School (SRTS) initiative, kicks off on Wednesday, October 9 (International Walk to School Day) and will continue throughout the school year.
Families are encouraged to chalk the sidewalk and find other ways to cheer on their neighbors as they walk their neighborhood block. We’ll provide collectible trinkets and charms for the kids, along with coffee for the adults – a true win/win! Don’t forget to tag your photos with #LAESWalkingWednesdays.
Guest Speaker for October PTA Meeting
The Louise Archer PTA invites Jennifer Sullivan from the National Center for Missing & Exploited Children to our in-person October PTA meeting, where she will discuss ways parents can support their school-aged children beyond blocking websites and setting parental controls.
Ms. Sullivan will provide valuable insights on fostering open communication, building trust, and educating children about online safety in an age-appropriate manner. She will emphasize the importance of creating a family technology plan that includes guidelines for internet use, social media interactions, and the sharing of personal information. Additionally, Ms. Sullivan will offer resources and tools that parents can use to stay informed about the latest digital trends and potential online threats.
The meeting will also feature a Q&A session, allowing parents to ask specific questions and share their concerns. This will be an excellent opportunity for the community to come together, learn, and support each other in creating a safer online environment for our children. We encourage all parents to attend and benefit from Jennifer’s expertise and practical advice.
We warmly encourage you to invite your family, friends, parents, and anyone else who might benefit from this special speaker series sponsored by the LAES PTA. An Evite will be sent out in the next week or two, allowing you to RSVP for this special PTA General Meeting.
