St. Mary Families:

This is to inform our families that there is a threatening TikTok reel circulating across the parish. The reel is the Cat in the Hat using Dr. Seuss style verbiage to threaten violence on schools and individuals.

Law-enforcement agencies responded to reports immediately and are currently investigating.

It is important that our students (of all ages) understand that creating, sharing, or circulating messages relating to violence is a violation of law and school board policy.

Whoever created this TikTok and all those who shared it will face severe consequences through both law enforcement and the school district.

Safety is our top priority. All threats are taken seriously. No threat will be treated like joke or a hoax.

If any student, parent, or community member has additional information regarding this TikTok, we ask that you report to school administrators or law enforcement or use our anonymous reporting app found on all school websites.

The school district would like to thank all those that took these threats seriously and reported them.

No major changes in thinking with the Gulf disturbance this morning. The main impacts will be increased rain chances today and higher winds and waves out on our Gulf waters west of Grand Isle. Continue to monitor the forecast!
