Latta Public School

Mrs. Elliott’s Social Studies classes had a great time finding states and capitals Easter eggs!

You are formally invited to the Latta Schools Community Night on Thursday, April 9th!

The Latta Schools Community Night will begin with a dinner provided by Latta Schools. It will consist of hotdogs, chips, cookies, and a drink. All is free of charge. Next, there will be a film accompanied by a discussion/Q&A with Jason Reid, founder of "Tell My Story." This will all take place on Thursday, April 9th. It will be from 6:30-8:00.

It is our hope to get community members from all surrounding schools to come together as one to enjoy time together and to become more educated about how we can help support our students about mental health awareness.

Mrs Oliphant will not be at school on Wednesday, so tutoring will be in Coach Blackwell’s room at 7:25 A.M. Mrs. Hisaw will cover after school tutoring in Mrs. Oliphant’s room from 3:05-4:05. There will also be no high school after school tutoring on Thursday.
