What a wonderful way to round out another great week across St. Bernard Parish Public Schools!

The Superintendent wrapped up the week by joining our instructional coaches during their training this morning — a great opportunity to see our educators learning, collaborating, and continuing to grow together.

From there, she headed to N.P. Trist Middle School, where she had a little fun joining one of our classes and playing the bells alongside the students! She also stopped by Chalmette High School for the freshman versus sophomore pep rally and enjoyed seeing the school spirit and energy of our students and staff.

Another special stop was visiting with the fifth-grade class from Arabi Elementary during their trip to the planetarium. The Superintendent enjoyed watching part of the show with the students and even jumped in for their class photo!

We are so thankful for the administrators, teachers, support staff, and all of our employees who work so hard each day to create meaningful opportunities and memorable experiences for our students. A special thank-you also goes to our bus drivers, who work so hard to safely get our students where they need to be and make so many of these experiences possible.

Another great week of learning, collaboration, school spirit, and fun — Powered by Learning and Powered by Our People!

There is great power in collaboration!

The Superintendent started the week attending a conference in Baton Rouge alongside fellow superintendents and administrative leaders from across Louisiana. The conference provided a valuable opportunity to learn together, share ideas, and collaborate across school districts.

That spirit of collaboration continued on Tuesday as our elementary and middle school assistant principals came together for their monthly training. These opportunities allow our school leaders to learn from one another, share best practices, and strengthen the work taking place across our schools.
Superintendent spent the day today in Baton Rouge at the State Department of Education building learning, and collaborating with the other new superintendents from across the state at a State new superintendents’ convening.

Whether across districts or across schools, coming together to learn, share, and grow makes us stronger — and ultimately benefits the students and families we serve.

It's Day 2 of Literacy Week at Lacoste Elementary, and the Bulldogs had some special guest readers today!

Actors from CHS Voices, Chalmette High's Music and Theatre group, dropped in dressed as beloved fairytale characters for a morning of reading with Lacoste's younger Bulldogs. It was a sweet connection between some of our oldest and youngest students, bringing literacy to life in the classroom!

Congrats to Annelise Cassar Tedesco and Arianna Cassar for organizing the visit and helping make this special morning possible!

September 15 is National IT Professionals Day, and we are proud to recognize the incredible team that helps keep St. Bernard Parish Public Schools Powered by Learning.

The integration of technology in our classrooms provides valuable tools that support teaching, learning, communication, and access to educational resources, and none of it would be possible without the dedicated professionals working behind the scenes. Maintaining thousands of laptops, Chromebooks, Promethean boards, and other digital devices is no small task, but our IT Team works tirelessly to keep everything running smoothly. Thank you for all that you do for our students, employees, and schools each day.
