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.

Community Shout Out to Brooke Gleason!
Congratulations to our students for their success at this week's State Senior Beta convention! Maggie Duprie placed 3rd in Poetry, Tayler Guidry placed 1st in Ag Science, and Grace Braus placed 4th in French.
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.
