Reopening Plan for In-Person Learning for the 2023-24 School Year

The Catahoula Parish School Board follows the COVID-19 guidance recommendations by the Louisiana Department of Health (LDH) and the Louisiana Department of Education (LDOE).  Our school guidance is subject to change as the LDH and LDOE guidance changes.  
 
COVID-19 Vaccination Policy for staff and students:  It is recommended that anyone who is eligible for the COVID-19 vaccine stay up to date on vaccinations.  COVID-19 vaccination policies for students and staff are strictly on a volunteer basis.
 
Masking Policies for staff and students:  Universal indoor masking is not required at our schools at this time.  Wearing a well-fitted mask consistently and correctly reduces the risk of spreading the virus that causes COVID-19.  Anyone who chooses to wear a mask will be supported in their decision.
 
Physical distancing, cohorts, or learning pods:   Close contact is defined as being within 6 feet of an infected person for a cumulative total of 15 minutes or more over a 24-hour period or having direct contact with an infected person.
 

New Immunization Requirements

Effective July 1, 2019, Louisiana law requires all students entering the 11th grade or those who are 16 years old in any grade, to provide proof of current immunization meningococcal conjugate vaccine (MCV) against meningococcal disease as a condition of school entry. This is an additional requirement on top of the requirement for students in 6th grade or those 11 years old. This means that two doses are now required. This new requirement came from the passage of 2018 Regular Session House Bill 176. Revised Statute 17:170E continues to allow exemption from this requirement for medical reasons or written statement of dissent.If you have any questions, please contact the Catahoula Parish School Nurse, Brandy Montpelier, at the Central Office.

Online Safety

The Parents’ Guides to Student Success were developed by teachers, parents and education experts in response to the Common Core State Standards that more than 45 states have adopted. Created for grades K-8 and high school English, language arts/literacy and mathematics, the guides provide clear, consistent expectations for what students should be learning at each grade in order to be prepared for college and career. A link to this information will be on our webpage under the “Parents” tab.
