community. Leataata Floyd continues to support our school

Leataata Floyd Elementary School (LFE) nurtures the whole child,
supports their social emotional development, and gives each
student the support they need to learn and grow. Through an
academically rigorous, culturally responsive, and equitable
curriculum, students receive the tools they need to thrive in
both school and life. LFE strives to cultivate caring and
trusting relationships with students and their families, and
invites the community to be actively involved in student learning
and success.
It is our deep regret to inform you about a recent loss to our
school community. Ms. Leataata Floyd passed away after an
illness. Her family was by her side. This loss is sure to raise
many emotions, concerns and questions school, community and
especially for our students.
At Leataata Floyd Elementary, we are working hard to develop a
culture where students learn and practice the skills that will
help them become life-long learners and contributing members of
society.
