Labor Day Holiday
All SLPSB school and district offices will be closed Monday, September 2nd in observance of Labor Day. All staff and students return on Tuesday, September 3rd.
Student ID Cards
All students have been issued a student ID card. This card is needed for breakfast and lunch. If your child does not have their ID card, they will need to get a temporary ID. Each day they do not have their ID card, it costs $1.00 for the temporary card to be printed. If your child loses his/her ID card, there is a $5.00 replacement fee.
If you attend Port Barre High School Athletic events, the ID card will also allow student discount at the entry gate.

Students are expected to be in attendance every school day scheduled by SLPSB. When a child checks in late or checks out early, instructional time is missed. Pre-K - 8th grade students will not be allowed to exceed ten (10) absences each school year.
Parents will be contacted via telephone, letter and/or home visit on the 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, etc. absence and/or tardy. We are mandated to report every fifth (5th) absence and/or tardy to the St. Landry Parish School Board Office of Child Welfare and Attendance. If attendance does not improve, the parent shall be referred to the St. Landry Parish City Prosecutor and Opelousas City Court.
Louisiana law mandates compulsory school attendance and every parent or legal guardian of a student shall enforce and be held accountable for the attendance of their child for every day scheduled by the School Board until their 18th birthday, unless the student graduates before their 18th birthday.
