SULS Elementary Students Dive into Ocean Commotion

This week, our third and fifth grade students from Southern University Laboratory School had the incredible opportunity to attend Ocean Commotion at LSU’s Pete Maravich Assembly Center. This is a hands-on science event hosted by Louisiana Sea Grant that brings environmental and coastal education to life for K–8 students.

Led by Mrs. Boudreaux (3rd Grade) and Mrs. Williams (5th Grade), our students explored interactive exhibits, met scientists and conservationists, and learned about Louisiana’s unique coastal ecosystems. From live animal encounters to STEM-based games and environmental demonstrations, Ocean Commotion offered a rich learning experience that sparked curiosity and excitement in every student.

We are proud of how our Kittens represented SULS with enthusiasm and respect, and we’re grateful to LSU and Louisiana Sea Grant for providing such a meaningful educational opportunity. Events like Ocean Commotion help us reinforce our commitment to Excellence by Choice, Not by Chance—and we can’t wait to return next year!

Southern Lab Sophomore Captures National Spotlight with Iconic Shot

Baton Rouge, La. — Southern Lab sophomore Kalen Williams found himself on a stage few high school students ever reach this past week, when the NCAA’s official FCS account featured one of his photographs as one of its Top Pics of the Week.

Williams, who has developed a growing passion for photography, was on the sidelines at Southern University’s matchup against Jackson State, capturing the energy and intensity of the storied rivalry. His lens froze a defining moment: Southern running back Trey Holly cutting through the defense, a shot that perfectly blended motion, emotion, and artistry.

“It was surreal,” Williams said of seeing his photo showcased nationally. “I was just focused on capturing the game the best I could, and to see my work recognized on that level is a blessing. It motivates me to keep pushing and getting better.”

For Williams, the recognition is bigger than just a single snapshot. As a student at Southern University Laboratory School, he’s been honing his craft with every opportunity—shooting practices, games, and events, all while balancing his schoolwork. His work ethic and eye for detail have quickly made him a familiar presence at Southern sporting events.

The moment also highlights the opportunities opening up for young creatives in Baton Rouge. Williams’ photo not only shined a light on Trey Holly’s on-field performance, but also on the emerging talent working behind the camera.

“This is only the beginning,” Williams added. “I want to keep telling stories through my photos, capturing moments people can remember forever.”

As Southern Lab’s own continues to develop his skills, his latest recognition by the NCAA suggests his work is already resonating far beyond Baton Rouge.

PSAT Testing – October 15

On Tuesday, October 15, all students in grades 8–11 will take the PSAT. This important assessment helps students practice for the SAT and provides valuable information about college and career readiness.

For our 11th-grade students, the PSAT also serves as the qualifying exam for the National Merit Scholarship Program. High performance can open the door to scholarship opportunities and national recognition.

To help students prepare, families can access the official PSAT practice test and information booklet -Taking the PSAT. We encourage students to review the materials ahead of time so they can feel confident on test day.

Sign Up Now for the October ACT!

Parents and students, don’t miss the opportunity to register for the October 18 ACT test. The registration deadline is Thursday, September 12. You can register at myACT.org.

The October ACT is one of only three test dates each year that offers the Test Information Release (TIR) service. With TIR, students receive a copy of their test questions, their answers, and the correct answers. This valuable resource helps students understand their mistakes and better prepare for future test dates.

We encourage students to take the ACT more than once. Research shows that most students improve their scores the second or third time they test. Even a small increase in score can expand college admission opportunities and may qualify students for additional scholarships.

We encourage you to take full advantage of this opportunity! Juniors and seniors can see their school counselor for information about test waivers. 

Google Classroom Class Login Information

We are excited to share that you can stay connected to your child’s learning by joining their Google Classroom as a parent/guardian. By joining, you will receive email summaries that include upcoming assignments and due dates, class announcements, and updates on missing work.

September Message from Mrs. Seals

I would first like to thank you for a wonderful start to the new school year. Our students have done a phenomenal job with proper uniforms, and we truly appreciate our parents for helping ensure students are ready each morning. Your support makes a difference!

Classes are now in full swing, and it’s hard to believe we are already quickly approaching the halfway mark of our first nine weeks. Time is moving fast, and we are so proud of the hard work our students are putting in each day.

If you missed Open House, click the link to see the message to hear updates for SULS.

A few friendly reminders:

• Students may not arrive on campus before 7:30 AM and must be picked up by 3:30 PM, even on game days, unless they are under the supervision of a coach or sponsor. Students are considered tardy after 7:50 AM, so let’s continue working together to have everyone on time. Every minute counts!

• As required by state law, cell phones are not allowed during the instructional day. Students may not use or display their phones between 7:50 AM and 3:10 PM. In case of an emergency, they may use the phone in the front office, and parents can always contact the office if needed.

Handbooks and planners are on the way! Each student will receive a printed copy of our school handbook, and grades 3–12 will also receive planners. Once distributed, we will meet with each grade level to review expectations together. In the meantime, the handbook is available on our school website.

I am excited to share that we have received brand new Chromebooks for classroom use! Each teacher now has a Chromebook cart, and students who need a device at home can loan one from the school. Please note: loaned devices must remain at home and are not to be brought back to campus daily. If you have not yet received the Google Form to request a Chromebook, please use the link below. 

Chromebook Care

Thank you for your continued partnership in helping us keep students prepared, on time, and ready to learn each morning. Every little effort makes a big difference.
