Based on reports from all campus principals, all Evangeline Parish schools and offices will be open Tuesday, January 27, 2026. Temperatures are expected to rise above freezing by mid-morning, and all school buildings are ready for students. Water, electricity, heating systems, and transportation services are fully operational, and buses will be warmed before student pickup.
To limit exposure to cold temperatures, families are encouraged to remain in vehicles while waiting for buses when possible. Students will go directly indoors upon arrival, and no outdoor activities will be held while temperatures remain below freezing.
Students and employees may wear jeans this week. Dressing in layers is recommended, and coats, uniform sweatshirts, knit caps, and gloves are permitted.
Student safety and continued learning remain our top priorities.

Dear Parents and Families,
Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year! As the superintendent of the Evangeline Parish School District, it is my distinct honor and pleasure to welcome you and your children back to school. We are excited to embark on another year of learning, growth, and achievement together.
Our dedicated educators and staff have worked diligently over the summer to prepare for an enriching and productive academic year. We remain committed to providing a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every student can GROW.
This year, we will continue to focus on academic excellence, innovative teaching, and the well-being of our students. We are introducing new programs and resources designed to enhance the educational experience, foster creativity, and ensure every child has the opportunity to ACHIEVE academically.
We recognize families' vital role in our students' success, and we value partnership, communication and collaboration between home and school are key to creating a positive and effective learning experience. We encourage you to stay engaged with your child's education, attend school events, and reach out to teachers and administrators with any questions or concerns.
In addition to our academic initiatives, we are also committed to the social and emotional needs of our students. We have implemented various support systems and resources to ensure that every student feels valued, respected, and empowered to "Level-up," which is our goal for this school year.
We are excited to see the amazing accomplishments of our students as they will THRIVE this year. Thank you for your continued support and involvement in our school community. Together, we can make this a successful and memorable year for all as we soar to higher academic levels.
On behalf of the members of the Evangeline Parish School Board and all school employees, it is my privilege to wish you and your family a fantastic start to the school year!
If you need any additional information or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact your child's principal, our district office, or visit our website at www.epsb.comlink to epsb.com
Again, welcome back, and let's make this year the best one yet!
Kindest regards,
Darwan Lazard
Superintendent of Evangeline Parish Schools
