SCHOOL CLOSURE – WEDNESDAY, MAY 7, 2025

Due to forecasted extended rainfall and the potential for flash flooding in low-lying areas, St. Mary Parish Public Schools will not be in session on Wednesday, May 7, 2025.

This decision was made out of an abundance of caution and with a strong commitment to the safety and well-being of our students and staff. Many of our students rely on bus transportation that may be affected by road conditions, and numerous employees and families reside in areas projected to experience hazardous weather. Ensuring that no one is placed at unnecessary risk is central to our planning.

Important Notes:

Evening events scheduled for Tuesday, May 6, 2025, will continue as planned, unless conditions change. Further updates will be provided as needed.

Students in grades 9–12 will engage in remote learning on Wednesday, May 7. This will allow time to complete or make up assignments under the guidance of their Carnegie credit teachers, ensuring minimal disruption to instruction.

We strongly encourage families to stay informed by following St. Mary Parish Public Schools’ official social media accounts and local news outlets for real-time updates.

The safety of our students is not just a consideration—it is the foundation of every decision we make.
We thank you for your understanding and support.
Superintendent Fegenbush
