According to the National Weather Service and state authorities, we’ve been advised that the potential threat of the storms predicted for Wednesday will pose dangerous conditions for students and staff during the early morning hours and throughout the school day. The threat of these storms include potential flash flooding, hail, and tornadoes.

Therefore, all Rapides Parish Public Schools and Offices will be closed tomorrow, April 10.

We will continue to monitor the weather and conditions in Rapides Parish. Updates will be communicated in a timely manner on our social media channels and on our website: rpsb.us

Upcoming Solar Eclipse Announcement:

On Monday, April 8, Central Louisiana will experience a partial eclipse of the sun. This event is projected to begin at 12:27 p.m., with a peak at 1:47 p.m., and then ending at 3:07 p.m.

Considering the special nature of this event, we ask that parents and guardians follow the guidance that has been provided by their child’s school. Safety precautions are in place for viewing experiences, including wearing proper eye protection.

For those classes not participating in an outdoor viewing, a livestream option will be available for indirect viewing. This will ensure students are inside and protected, while still allowing them to experience the eclipse.

All outdoor activities on our campuses, including: physical education classes, recess, athletic practices, and the like, will be limited between the hours of 12:00 p.m. and 3:15 p.m. on Monday. Schools will dismiss at regularly scheduled times.

You may choose not to send your child to school Monday due to safety concerns or to enjoy the eclipse at home as a family. Absences on Monday will be excused.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your child’s school directly.

All of our little peeps had so much fun egg hunting and celebrating Easter! 🐰🐣
