Cold Weather Forecast
Weather predictions indicate that temperatures will dip below freezing across Acadiana during this period. With the cold snap expected, LPSS aims to ensure students are dressed appropriately for the cold.
Superintendent’s Approval
This adjustment has received approval from Superintendent Francis Touchet, Jr. The allowance of sweatpants is effective for just two days, as temperatures are forecasted to rise starting Wednesday.
Dress Code Reminders
