Based on information from our outside weather folks, a concern from our water districts about a lack of water pressure and the inability to turn water back on at our facilities until temperatures are sustained above freezing, the Vermilion Parish School system will be closed on Wednesday. We will resume normal operations on Thursday. This will allow our central office and maintenance departments the ability to visit our schools tomorrow after lunch and troubleshoot any potential issues that the cold weather may have caused. Thank you for understanding and we appreciate your support in these efforts.
Out of an abundance of caution for our students and employees, the Vermilion Parish School System will be closed on Tuesday, January 16th. We will monitor the weather situation and make a decision about Wednesday around noon tomorrow.
We have been in contact with the National Weather Service and OEP as well as with other local school officials in an effort to make the best decision. Thank you for understanding and stay warm.

Mrs. Jennifer’s ELA classes wore shades or fun glasses in class as they shared their Point of View narrative writings. Students peer edited and practiced speaking to an audience. Their future surely is BRIGHT! 😎
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.
Mrs. Jennifer’s class made it to 100 compliments!!!! They celebrated with Kahoot games and board games. Once the weather gets better, they will be rewarded with 10 minutes extra recess!

Mrs. Jennifer’s 4th grade ELA classes celebrated their AR success today! Each student was able to shop for various items such as snacks, toys and fun school supplies with their AR points they accumulated so far this year!
Being rewarded for reading is a win!
5th grade students in Mrs. Annie’s ELA class celebrated the end of their novel “The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe” by designing a tacky holiday sweater that symbolizes the overall theme of the novel. Students really spread the holiday cheer with their creativity and enthusiasm for the assignment! 🎄🦁📖
NVHS Student Council members Ellery Dupuy and Amalie' Broussard were welcomed by all pre-k and kindergarten classes today. They brought Christmas cheer to CPE by reading several Christmas stories to our little friends! ❤️💚
