By Samiksha Mehta – Entertainment Editor

Jonathan Law recently added a new attendance secretary in the main office. Mrs. Lagarde worked part-time at St. Mary School before coming to Law. Entertainment Editor Samiksha Mehta sat down with Mrs. Lagarde and asked her about her time at Law so far.

Samiksha Mehta: Why did you decide to come to Law?

Mrs. Lagarde: I decided to come to Law over the summer. I had been previously working at St. Mary School but only part time. My youngest child was leaving for college and so I was looking for a full time job. Jonathan Law was a wonderful fit for me. 

SM: How has the start of the year been for you?

KL: The start of the year has been great. I was here a few weeks before the students arrived but have been especially busy since the first day of school. There is a lot to learn but I am having fun and am excited to come to work each day. 

SM: What are you most looking forward to this year? 

KL: I am most looking forward to getting to know the students and being able to help make the school day at Jonathan Law better for everyone here. I also can’t wait to attend some sporting events and cheer on our Law Nation. 

SM: What are your responsibilities?

KL: My responsibilities are to maintain accurate attendance records for each student in school. If you are absent, tardy, dismissed early or with the Nurse or Guidance – we need to know. I also disperse incoming mail to faculty and staff. I answer the main telephone line and help callers get the right answers. We all work together in the office to assist students, parents, teachers and staff with questions and/or problems. 

SM: How are you adjusting to Law?

KL: I am adjusting to Law pretty well. It’s an early start to the day since I am at my desk by 6:45 a.m. but everyone here has been so kind and welcoming that it makes getting up early much easier.
