GETTING YOUR CHILD TO AND FROM SCHOOL SAFELY:

Parents delivering students to school in the morning are  to use the entrances on Park or Taft Street.  In order to ensure your child's safety, all parents MUST enter the drop off lines! Drop off may begin at 7:40 am.

Arrival:  Park and Taft Streets will be one-way streets in the mornings and afternoons.  Pre-K and K children are to use the Taft Street entrance (the K wing entrance).  All other children should use the Park Street (cafeteria-side) entrance.   Parents with children of both Pre-K/K and higher grade levels will both drop off and pick  up their children at the Taft Street side.  This will allow for a continuous movement of the younger children.  Faculty members direct students to the correct locations in the afternoon dismissal.   All students who walk home will exit out of the building through the side entrances, not the front office doors.

Parents:  Please do not drop your child off in front of the school in the bus-loading zone.  This causes a big traffic problem because of the size of the street and is very dangerous for your child.  Following school rules applies to all stakeholders.  Children WILL NOT be dismissed to vehicles in the front of the school.

Students are not to arrive at school before 7:40 A.M.  Parents, you are taking a risk if you allow them to arrive any earlier because teachers do not go on duty until that time.  The students will be unsupervised any time before 7:40 A.M.

Swine Flu Protocol Update (Sept. 11, 2009)

  • The Louisiana DOE has released an update concerning the spread of the H1N1 virus (swine flu), which tends primarily to affect young people ages 5-24. The following recommendations have been updated:
  • Stay home when sick. Since doctors are no longer testing for swine flu virus, those with flu-like symptoms should remain home for at least 24 hours after they no longer exhibit any signs of fever. Currently, the drug Tamiflu is only being administered to patients whose cases are serious enough to warrant hospitalization.
  • Get a flu vaccine. Teachers and students should be vaccinated. An H1N1 Flu Vaccination Campaign to vaccinate all children (K-12) and college students under age 24 is underway, with school systems asked to coordinate school nurses and local health clinics to administer vaccines at no charge.
  • Parents should help students maintain academic progress through online sources of information including district and school websites, courses on Blackboard where available, online homework websites, and electronic mail.
