Dear Meraux Families,

Welcome to Arlene Meraux Elementary School! I would like to introduce myself for those students and families who may not know me. My name is Natalie Albers, and I will serve you as the Principal of Arlene Meraux Elementary. I am excited to begin working with each of you this school year. I am beginning my 20th year in education, having served all of these years in St. Bernard Parish Public Schools. I received my Bachelors of Science degree in Elementary Education from Loyola University, New Orleans, and went on to receive my Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from the University of New Orleans. It is my honor and privilege to serve you this year, and for many years to come.

Arlene Meraux Elementary is excited to offer a new, state of the art campus for our students in a loving and caring environment. Our faculty and staff have worked extremely hard this summer to prepare for the opening of school and arrival of students. I am sure you will be impressed with the instructional programs, support and progress your child will experience. During this unprecedented time, we are hopeful that the relationships we develop with our students will help them feel safe and confident in their abilities so they can thrive.

I am eager to work with each and every one of you. If I can be of assistance, please do not hesitate to call or email me. I can be reached at (504)556-0900 or nalbers@sbpsb.org. Please check out our website for additional information.

Sincerely,

Natalie C. Albers
