The Louisiana Legislature passed ACT 313 which states:
“No students shall possess, on his person, an electronic telecommunication device throughout the instructional day. If a student brings an electronic telecommunication device in any public elementary or secondary school building or on the grounds thereof during an instructional day, the electronic device shall either be turned off and properly stowed away for the duration of the instructional day or prohibited from being turned on and used during the instructional day.”
Afternoon dismissal is important to ensuring that every student makes it home safe. NO STUDENT WILL BE CHECKED OUT AFTER 2:30 p.m. Remember, ONLY PERSONS LISTED ON THE EMERGENCY CARD may sign out students. A valid picture ID MUST be presented EVERY TIME a student is checked out of school. The person listed MUST BE over 18.
It is the responsibility of the parent/legal guardian to notify the school if changes occur during the school year, and update the student Emergency Card as needed.
Please follow the Sign-Out Procedures/Check Out Procedures, Arrival and Dismissal Policy, Carpool Safety Guidelines and others.
IMPORTANT: We will only permit students to leave as walkers if they are within the approved walking distance of school. All other students will need to be sent home via Bus or Car Line. You can go to jpschools.org , select the button that says “Find it Fast”, click "Find my Bus". If the result states “you would be assigned to this bus stop”, your child will no longer be allowed to leave campus in the afternoon by foot. There are no exceptions. We need to follow the guidance of the State Law.
