The Terrebonne Parish School District has revised the post-Ida reopening schedule for this academic year, pushing back the start dates of phases.

The schedule can be found below in a message from Superintendent Philip Martin:


Dear Parents,
We are planning to begin reopening schools on Wednesday, September 29, 2021. Not all schools will open at the same time, but rather in Phases. No school will reopen without electricity. That creates difficulty in establishing definite dates since we don’t know when electricity will be restored at all schools.

The following schools, due to having sustained significant damage, will be paired/shared with other schools that can fully operate: South Terrebonne High, Ellender Memorial High, Upper Little Caillou Elementary, and Grand Caillou Elementary.
Currently, we are planning to reopen the following schools on WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 2021 :
o Bayou Black Elementary
o H. L. Bourgeois High (7:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon)
o Broadmoor Elementary
o Caldwell Middle
o Coteau-Bayou Blue Elementary
o Gibson Elementary
o Honduras Elementory
o Houma Jr. High
o Lisa Park Elementary
o Oakshire Elementary
o Schriever Elementary
o Southdown Elementary
o Terrebonne High (7:00 o.m. to 12:00 noon)
o Village East Elementary

PHASE 2 – THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 30:
o All Ellender Memorial High students will go to Terrebonne High.
Terrebonne High students will attend from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon; and EMHS students will attend from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
o All South Terrebonne High students will go to H. L. Bourgeois High. HLB students will attend from 7:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, and STHS students will attend from 12:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.


PHASE 3 . FRIDAY, OCTOBER 1:
o Upper Little Caillou Elementary Pre-K through 1st grade will go to Village East Elementary; and 2nd – 4th grade will go to Montegut Elementary.
o Grand Caillou Elementary Pre-K & Kindergarten will go to Honduras Elementary; and 1st – 4th grade will go to Dularge Elementary.

PHASE 4:
As electricity is restored and we are able to assess HVAC, and any electricity issues, etc., at schools not listed, hopefully these schools can be brought back online shortly.

Our community has been devastated and our return to school plan will certainly require changes and adjustments. Each day, we continue to discover issues that require changes to our plan.


Your patience, cooperation, and understanding is greatly appreciated, as we will all get through this by pulling together.

Sincerely,

Philip Martin
Superintendent of Schools
