Message from Evangeline Parish School District

RE:  School Early Dismissal (9-10-2024 @ noon) and Closure (9-11-2024) Due to Severe Weather

Dear Evangeline Parish School District Families & Communities:

We are closely monitoring weather forecasts that indicate the potential for severe conditions, including a significant risk of flooding, starting as early as Wednesday, September 11, 2024.

Based on the available information, all Evangeline Parish campuses and administrative offices will close at noon on Tuesday, September 10, 2024, to give families time to prepare for the impact of Tropical Storm Francine.  Additionally, all schools and offices will remain closed on Wednesday, September 11, 2024.

These closures also apply to all after-school activities, meetings, practices, etc. scheduled for both days. 

This decision is being made in consultation with the National Weather Service (NWS) and the local/state Office of Emergency Preparedness (OEP) in an effort to prioritize the safety and wellbeing of our students and staff.

We are planning to resume regular operations on Thursday, September 12, 2024; however, should there be any changes, we will update you via our regular communication platforms.

We thank you for your cooperation and understanding as we take these necessary precautions.

Kindest regards,

Darwan Lazard

Superintendent of Schools

Evangeline Parish School District
