Last week, we wrapped up New Hire Week and welcomed a ton of new #FirstLiner's to the team! New staff members got to learn a lot about our organization, meet school leaders, engage in rigorous professional development sessions, and do some planning for the quickly approaching school year! They also got to live the life of a #FirstLine student during the Student Experience where new staff explored the #ESYNOLA garden, attended math and ELA classes as students, built and raced baloon cars in science, and competed in a fashion show using school supplies and material to simulate Fun Friday's! Let's give some shine to and welcome our new team members! 💙🧡 #NOLAed #FLSAshe #FLSWheatley #FLSLHA #FLSGreen

Hey #FirstLine families! The beginning of the school year is fast approaching! Check out this graphic to see when your scholar's first day of school will be.

Educators, trainers, and experts are gathering at the 50th Annual Direct Instruction Conference hosted by the National Institute for Direct Instruction in Eugene, Oregon this week. I always enjoy meeting and networking with people from all over the world at the conference, including these two coaches from FirstLine Schools, a New Orleans Charter Schools network. #NIFDI #DirectInstruction #DI #NationalConference #DI50thAnniversary

Imagine getting early access to wonderful reading material and experiencing story time with the authors! This school year, our #FirstLine scholars connected with some inspiring authors! - Dhonielle Clayton (author of The Conjureverse series) - Ali Kamanda and Jorge Redmond (authors of "Black Boy, Black Boy") - Local New Orleans activist and artist, Dee-1 (author of "David Found His Slingshot") In nurturing our students in mind, body, and spirit, one of our DEI commitments states that we act on adopting, modifying, and/or building curricula that welcomes and affirms each student’s unique identity and values community cultural wealth. #FirstLineLibraries works to do just that by creating meaningful opportunities for students to connect with talented authors and access diverse stories!
