We want all to know that we are closely monitoring and are in contact with emergency officials and other school systems about our next weather event that could take place. Currently there is a forecast of evening and overnight rain on Monday evening with temperatures below freezing for portions of that forecast. After a slight rise in temp during the day on Tuesday, we are looking at a drop into the teens overnight on Tuesday into Wednesday.
We will be going into freeze protection mode Friday afternoon, with us being out of school on Monday, with a tentative plan of shutting off water on Monday morning. The issues that will arise is that until water is turned back on and we can assure that pipes are safe school is always in question. With the coldest temps expected for overnight Tuesday we will be put in a wait and see and make the best prediction mode. Please be patient with the decisions, but know that I will inform you on any cancellations if necessary. The safety of all stakeholders is always at the forefront of our decisions and that's why we build in weather days to our schedule.

Overnight rains in some areas have exceeded the projections we were given. Rainfall amounts are different in each part of our parish.
Schools are OPEN. If you are in one of the low lying areas and need to adjust times until you can evaluate roads to travel we will excuse late arrivals.
Bus routes may be a few minutes later than normal and some may have to alter routes in some areas. Again, we will use common sense when excusing lateness or absences because of flooding issues.
Thank you for your understanding and for making any adjustments thst may need to be made. This is one of those weather events that has different effects on different parts of the parish and doesnt have a one size fits all solution. Sorry for the inconvenience it may cause.
Superintendent Tommy Byler.
