Lafayette School District

Superintendent's Message

Dear Parents, Staff, and Community Members,

Today dear parents, staff, and community members, I write my last official letter to you. Today, I begin to close the door to a wonderful career made even more exceptional because of each of you. You are a community like none other. Every day there have been special moments where you have inspired me, challenged me, and taught me life lessons about volunteerism, professionalism, and character, that will stay in my heart forever. A small message will never begin to convey what a privilege and honor it has been to be your Superintendent.

As I open the next door to the future and start a new chapter in my life, the memories of each of you and all that we have done together will be with me always.

With deep appreciation,

Rachel Zinn, Superintendent

(P.S. I will still be in the office during the summer months should you need to contact me.)
