Our School

Dear Families of Florida Avenue Students,

Welcome to our new school year! Our school’s theme this year is Leaders in Action: Watch us Grow!  I am Rachel Moreno, your new principal! I have been an educator in St. Tammany Parish since 2006.  I am so excited and honored to serve the Florida Avenue School community as the principal.  We are going to have an amazing school year!

I am looking forward to a great partnership with you to ensure our students can reach their highest potential.  I recognize that our students need support both from home and school to succeed, and this partnership will make a great difference in our students’ education!

Some areas where you can help as a family include the following:

• Ensure that your child gets enough rest, healthy eating and play time.
• Help your child to be responsible for materials and homework assignments.
• Have your child read daily to develop a love for reading.
• Encourage your child to communicate what they are learning every day.
• Promote Leader in Me - the "7 Habits of Highly Effective People”
  • Be Proactive
  • Begin with the End in Mind
  • Put First Things First
  • Think Win-Win
  • Seek First to Understand, Then to be Understood
  • Synergize
  • Sharpen the Saw.

We also have an 8th Habit, Find Your Voice, and while our students are here, we will help them to find their voice through many different leadership activities and learning across the curriculum.

This year we will see our students GROW, ACHIEVE, and THRIVE.  You are important to me.  Please reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or ideas!  Go TIGERS!

Sincerely,

Rachel Moreno
