Principal’s Message
Dear Kitten Family,
Nadia W. Seal, Principal
I hope this message finds you enjoying a safe and restful summer! I am truly excited to welcome each of you back for what promises to be an exceptional school year at Southern University Laboratory School. We cannot wait to see our students fill our halls once again with their energy, curiosity, and Kitten Pride!
Our theme this year is: “Excellence by Choice, Not by Chance.” Together, we will continue to create an environment where our students are empowered to choose greatness every day.
As we prepare for a strong start, I want to remind our students to continue working on their summer reading requirements. Building strong reading habits now sets a positive tone for success in the classroom this fall.
Families, please remember to finalize your school uniform orders to ensure that your child is ready for our “Dress for Success” policy, which begins on August 11, 2025. Students who are not in the appropriate attire will be required to report to TOR, so it is important that everyone is prepared and in compliance from day one.
Hot off the press! I am excited to share that the administration has approved an update to our uniform policy: students may now wear green tennis shoes as part of their casual uniform. Please note that only Kelly green and hunter green are approved. Lime green, mint green, pastel, neon, or other shades of green are not permitted. We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to this new addition.
Finally, mark your calendars for our One Stop Shop Back to School Bash on August 2, 2025. This is an important event to ensure a smooth start to the year, so all new and returning families, please make plans to attend!
I look forward to seeing each of you very soon and starting another year of learning, growth, and success. Let’s make it our best yet!
Mrs. Nadia Washington Seals
Principal
Southern University Laboratory School
