Note from Lola Thomas 3/25/2020

Mr. Prudhomme notified me that all pre-k tuition charges would be stopped for April. If we do not return to school, then drafts will be stopped for May.  A decision regarding March has not been determined. As soon as a decision is made it will be shared with everyone.

Thank you for your patience and please be safe during this time.

Mrs. Thomas

In order to preserve equitable educational opportunities, the Vermilion Parish School System has elected not to engage in distance learning. All instructional pacing and grading will be suspended until further notice. Teachers have been advised not to require any type of assignments. The only exceptions are for high school students taking dual enrollment courses, as these are part of the university system. At the request of parents, online resources are available at https://www.vpsb.net/205029_2. The Louisiana Department of Education has approved initial waivers for a number of educational policies that impact all students, including students with disabilities. All special education instructional services and Section 504 accommodations will resume when school reopens.
