This week is all about celebrating the people who make education possible: our dedicated teachers, staff, administrators, substitutes, and support personnel.
Thank you for everything you do to inspire and support students every single day!

We are using this time to raise awareness about the serious challenges of food insecurity and unstable housing in communities across the country.

We're acknowledging Connie Shakesnider, a wonderful grandparent of students in the St. Landry Parish School System.
Her words remind us of what truly matters: "Love begins at home, and its not about how much we do but about how much love we put in that action."
Thank you, Ms. Connie, for being an inspiring part of our school community!

Happy World Kindness Day!💖 November 13th is a powerful reminder that our actions matter.
Kindness is not just a feeling, it is a daily choice. You have the power to be the reason someone else knows there is good in the world.
Make that choice today, be kind on purpose!

We loved hearing this beautiful sentiment from parent Rachael Fruge-Jones: "Parenting is a Gift that Keeps on Giving, and I thank God for it Every Day!"
Let’s honor this month by strengthening the connection between home, school, and community. Your engagement is the key to our students' success! ❤️


I want to take a moment to give honor to and thank the remarkable men and women who have served in our United States Armed Forces. I would especially like to recognize and honor the veterans who are employees of the St. Landry Parish School District, as well as the veterans from our SLP community.
I am grateful for your courage, sacrifice, and love of country. Your willingness to step forward and serve, often under the most challenging circumstances, has secured the freedoms that we, and generations to come, will enjoy.
May you feel the deep respect and appreciation of a grateful nation and community. Veterans, thank you for your service,
Happy Veterans Day! 🇺🇸
Milton Batiste, III

Today, we celebrate Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics.
Let's inspire the next generation to be determined and unstoppable in their pursuit of knowledge.




We have an Early Dismissal coming up next Wednesday, November 12th, 2025.
This means students will be leaving school earlier than usual. Double-check the exact dismissal time and make sure transportation/pickup is all set!

This year's theme is "FINDING YOUR PATH". Our dedicated School Psychologists are essential partners, helping our students thrive.
In school, at home, and in life!
Thank you, School Psychologists, for everything you do!

It's National Family Engagement Month!
We're celebrating the amazing commitment of our school families, like Reginald & Amy Moore.
Their message is something we can all stand by: “Our children are our future, we have to invest in them.” It really shows how much family support matters for every student's success.
Thank you, Reginald and Amy, for sharing your dedication!
