Caddo Parish Public Schools

Caddo Parish, you stuffed the bus to make Christmas brighter for more than 1,200 homeless students! The second annual Stuff the Bus community toy drive was a success! Today, SporTran Transit delivered thousands of toys that will be distributed to our homeless families just in time for Christmas. These donations, spearheaded by the incredible team at SporTran, were possible because of wonderful community partners along with individuals and families who made this year's program a reality. A special thanks to title sponsor, Healthy Blue, for your tremendous partnership on Stuff the Bus and our community efforts throughout the year.

South Highlands Elementary Magnet will be closed today due to a power outage impacting the neighborhood. We are monitoring the situation and will update staff and families as soon as power is restored.
