The Lafayette Parish School System announced today that all middle school and high school students will return to a hybrid schedule of learning after the Thanksgiving break. This includes students attending Southside High School and David Thidodaux STEM Magnet Academy. On Monday, November 30, 2020 when students return to school, all middle and high school students will follow the A/B schedule. Elementary school students will continue to attend school every day for face-to-face instruction.
This schedule will continue through December 22, 2020, and an announcement regarding how students will report on January 4, 2021 will be made prior to the holiday break. While face-to-face instruction is best for all students, the goal of LPSS is to take proactive actions now to avoid closing schools entirely. LPSS recognizes that this is a fluid situation, and will continue to evaluate and adjust their learning model based on the most current information they have available. LPSS wants to once again urge everyone to do their part in slowing down the spread of this virus. Please continue to wear masks, limit large gatherings, wash hands, and practice social distancing. These efforts will help students and staff remain safely in school.
