Clarification for Cold Weather Wear days as specified by VPSS Below are the guidelines: 1. Uniforms may be worn. 2. Appropriate bottoms such as jeans or sweatpants may be worn. NO LEGGINGS. 3. If you choose to wear shorts in the colder weather, they must be uniform shorts. 4. Coats, sweatshirts and jackets of any type may be worn. They may not have any inappropriate writing or graphics on them. We are more concerned with students keeping warm at bus stops, bus rides and in between classes that are located in portable buildings. This is a district-wide policy that was implemented last year. A cold weather day called by the district is for ALL schools.

Vermilion Parish Schools and offices will be open tomorrow Tuesday, January 27th, 2026. District cold weather dress will be allowed for the remainder of the week. As a reminder, Wednesday is no longer a 1/2 for students and will be a full day of school.

Congratulations to the following Rene Rost students for making the Vermilion Parish Honor Band! These students have worked incredibly hard and will represent our school well at their concert next weekend!

Central Office Message Vermilion Parish schools will be closed on Monday after consultation with the National Weather Service and the office of Emergency Preparedness. Concern for ice on the roads, a wind chill projected in the single digits and water being turned off played a role in the decision. A call out will be going out around 1:00 pm with the official notice to all families. If an extension of this school closure becomes necessary, we will inform you at that time. NOTE: Wednesday, January 28th was originally scheduled to be a 1/2 day of school. IT IS NOW A FULL DAY.
