GoodWill Lunching's Bookfest at I A Lewis was a HUGE success!!! Thank you so much to this local nonprofit organization for coming to our school and allowing students to choose THREE FREE books! These books belong to the students and are theirs to keep. THANK you to the volunteers, teachers, administrators, and students for such a fun filled day. It was definitely a great day to be a RAM!
We are super excited to announce the I A Lewis BookFest! On Monday, April 15, 2024, GoodWill Lunching will be hosting a bookfest for all students. This local, non-profit organization promotes literacy by providing students with FREE books! We can't wait to see what they bring!
Parents, Thursday, March 7th will be a virtual day for IAL students. No students will report to campus on this day. This is due to the RHS Boys' Basketball Playoff game.

We are MARCHing into Spring with numerous opportunites for our Rams to begin their transition to Bearkits! Parents, please note the Parent Meeting at RJHS on the 19th at 5:30 (contact Ruston Junior High for details). There is still lots of work to be done, but we are starting to see our end goal!

Good afternoon, parents! Just a reminder that tomorrow morning we will take the 2nd window of ELA Innovative Assessment.

Also, don't forget to charge Chromebooks tonight. Students will need their Chromebooks to take the assessment. You've got this RAMS!

Don't forget the Holiday Reading challenge is in full swing! The last day before a holiday break can be a bit overwhelming for some, so tomorrow would be a great day to take a minute to find a quiet space and READ! Plus, anyone who participates and makes 85% or better on the test gets cocoa and cookies as a reward after the break!!
Let’s celebrate the season with a pajama day on Tues, Dec 19th. Students may wear pajamas (holiday themed or regular pajamas) with closed toe shoes; no slippers, slip-ons, or crocs will be allowed. Please make sure that your pajamas follow regular school dress code guidelines; they should be free of inappropriate slogans/pictures and not low cut or excessively tight.
