School Closure Update🚨 Out of an abundance of caution, all Natchitoches Parish schools will remain closed on Wednesday, January 22. After consulting with the Natchitoches Parish Sheriff’s Office, the potential for melting and refreezing of wet roads is a concern because it could create hazardous driving conditions. The safety of our students, staff, and bus drivers is our top priority, and we want to ensure everyone remains safe. Please note that we have enough days built into our school calendar, so these missed days will not need to be made up. Thank you for your understanding, and we will continue to keep you updated as needed. Stay warm and safe! ❄️ #NPSB #TogetherWeCan
