It was brought to our attention that parents were having trouble finding school uniforms in local stores. We researched this and the results are attached for your information.

Thank you for choosing the Tangipahoa Parish School System for your child’s educational journey! We are excited about the upcoming school year and the privilege of educating your child or children. As per the Governor’s Order regarding COVID-19, the State is now under “Phase 3.” This allows schools to return to “normal” operations with the following guidelines:

• Students and staff are no longer required to wear face coverings within the school building or inside classrooms. However, the Louisiana Department of Health and Hospital recommends wearing a face covering if you have not been vaccinated. 
• All passengers on public transportation, including school buses, are required to wear face coverings per President Biden’s Executive Order.
• Temperature checks are no longer required upon entering the school campus. Temperature checks will only occur if the school suspects the student may have fever. If it is determined that the student has a fever, the parent/guardian will be contacted to pick up the child. Students who have fever should remain at home until they are fever free for 24 hours.
• Staff and students are encouraged to social distance to the extent that is possible.
• Students, staff, and visitors are no longer required to wash and/or disinfect their hands upon arrival at school, however, frequent handwashing throughout the day will still be a priority.
• Touching your face, nose and eyes is a significant risk to the spread of any type of infection. Therefore, students, staff, and visitors should be reminded not to do so and to be sure to cover the nose with a tissue or use the inside of the elbow when coughing and/or sneezing.
• Buses and classrooms will be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected daily.
• We encourage our employees and students to get the COVID-19 vaccination. If an employee or student has been vaccinated and is exposed to the COVID-19 virus, quarantining will be required only if he/she has symptoms of the virus. TPSS will help ensure easy access to the COVID-19 vaccination by hosting free vaccination events at various locations throughout the parish prior to the start of school in August.

The TPSS is committed to excellence! This includes social-emotional learning, working to accelerate learning for all students, and expanding opportunities for students during and after the school day with a focus on STEM. Please keep in mind that our guidance is fluid and will be adjusted as necessary to align with federal and state guidelines throughout the school year.
