My name is Lauren Judice Craton. I am married to Chris and we have two girls, Emery and Charlotte. I graduated from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette with a degree in Elementary Education. This will be my 19th year teaching first grade. I went to Martin Petitjean as a child and now I get to teach here! I love working with children and seeing how much growth can come from each of my students.
I believe the key to your child's success is to have both teacher and parent support. If you have any questions or concerns anytime throughout the year, you can call me at school (337) 334-9501. Teacher conferences are available by appointment after school or during my planning time. You can also email me at lcraton@apsbonline.org. In the subject line, please put PARENT EMAIL to ensure that your email is received in my inbox.
Again, let me welcome you to Martin Petitjean Elementary and thank you for your support, because with your help your child will have a successful year!
