Balancing Connection and Curriculum at Lanier Elementary

With 9 years of experience at Redesign Schools Louisiana (RSL), Nicole Jones has a lot to offer
her student body as Principal at Lanier Elementary. She maintains a wonderful balance between
fostering healthy connection and taking education very seriously.

To foster connection, she hosts exciting events, like Lanier’s recent movie night. Children and
their families attended a movie night, complete with pajamas, hot cocoa, a dance performance
and art show performed by the students, and quality time as a family. To foster an educational
experience, she has two types of coaches in the classroom to help children succeed:
Foundation Coaches, who help bridge the gaps that students have due to the impact of
Covid-19 virtual learning, and Acceleration Coaches, who offer support to students as they
progress to the next grade level.
