A message from our principal

Dear Parents,
The 2011/2012 school year will mark our 20th year on the Laurel campus. We are looking forward to another wonderful year. We plan for it to be a rewarding learning experience for all our students. Our focus will continue to be on creating a positive, respectful, safe school climate so our students may focus on the business of learning and meeting the State Standards and Benchmarks. One way we communicate and promote a good relationship between home and our school is through our Student/Parent Handbook. The purpose of the handbook is to share the school’s procedures and policies as well as to provide general knowledge about Laurel School. Parents are encouraged to contact the school with any questions, suggestions, or concerns.

Mrs. Curran
