Drawer 2158 • Lafayette, Louisiana 70502 • 337.521.7000 Website: www.lpssonline.com Student / Parent Handbook for 2020-2021 Dear Parents and Guardians: The Lafayette Parish School System welcomes you to the 2020-2021 school year. We are pleased to provide you with the Student/Parent Handbook. The Lafayette Parish School System (LPSS) has compiled this student handbook in order to inform students and parents of important school information, such as the school calendar, contact information for district personnel, attendance requirements, regulations for student conduct and behavior, medication and transportation policies and procedures, the student dress code, and proper ways to direct grievances. In order for all students to have an opportunity to reach their maximum academic achievement and learn social responsibility, we must work together to maintain safe, structured and courteous learning environments. This document clearly outlines the expectations of acceptable behavior and defines the consequences for unacceptable behavior. The regulations in this handbook are consistent with federal and state laws, as well as with parish policy. Revisions, with Board approval, may be given as an addendum to the policies and procedures in this handbook during the school year. The powers delegated to a local school board by the Louisiana State Legislature are delegated to the board as a body. No authority is granted to board members acting as individuals. For your convenience, you may also view this handbook or board policies on our website at www.lpssonline.com. Additional information about the Lafayette Parish School System, including items not found in this handbook is also available on our website.
