SPED STL

Hello! I am Ms. Laffitte, an educator with 34 years of experience and so excited to be supporting you through another year of learning! Working with adults and students has fulfilled my passion as an educator. The opportunity to make positive change and contributing to the success of our school/district vision will define my role this year. I will be supporting the Mild/Moderate Special Education students (half-time) and will be coaching teachers as a Senior Team Lead (STL).

Learning is an integral part of my professional and personal goals and the majority of my time is dedicated to this; however, I have several hobbies and interest that fill up my spare time. I love to play golf and compete in tournaments when the snow has not covered the course. I collect primitive antiques, especially oil paintings and furniture and I love vintage purses and jewelry. I also enjoy hiking and making patchwork baby quilts. I also love traveling in my pop-up camper. I love to read historical fiction and collect any DVD regarding historical fiction and dramas. I have a hard time going to the movies; so I plan movie nights at my home.

I have lived in Northern Louisiana for most of my life, but I ventured to Miami, Florida when I graduated from college and taught for 20 years. I moved to Colorado in 2006 after Hurricane Katrina. I have traveled to most National Parks, Greece, Canada, Mexico, South and Central America (San Blas Islands), the Caribbean and Alaska (frequent at least 3-4 times per year).
