St. Mary Parish Schools will be suspending their grab-n-go meal service in accordance with the stay-at-home order issued by Governor Jon Bel Edwards effective at 5:00 PM today. The district initiated the emergency feeding program on Monday and served a total of 741 meals at four school sites. While the school system is fully committed to parish students, the safety of staff and employees must also be considered given the governor’s order.

All schools in St. Mary Parish will be closed beginning Monday, March 16 as ordered by Governor Edwards. Schools will reopen on Monday, April 20th, following the scheduled Spring Break. 

Please continue to check our webpage and our Facebook page (Mighty Lions - Aucoin) for updates and important information.

• Cover your mouth when coughing or sneeze using a tissue, then dispose of the tissue immediately
• Avoid close contact with anyone who is sick
• Do not send students to school who are sick
• Student absenteeism will be closely monitored
• Communicate with the school nurse and/or administrator if your child is absent due to respiratory illness, common cold, or flu-like symptoms
• If any COVID-19 cases are reported in the community, St. Mary Parish Schools will receive further guidance from local health officials and from the Louisiana Department of Health

School-Wide Preparation:

• Frequently touched surfaces (e.g., doorknobs, light switches, desks, tables) are being cleaned frequently with effective disinfectants
• An ample supply of disinfectants is available at all schools

JS Aucoin Elementary is participating in the U. S. Census Bureau's Statistics in Schools (SIS) program to unite schools around the country in an effort to count every child in the 2020 Census. 

The national census is conducted every 10 years. Data from this census is used to determine funding for many programs including special education, classroom technology, teacher training, after-school programs, and school lunch assistance. 

In mid-March, your family should begin receiving official Census 2020 mail with instructions on how to respond. By April 1, 2020, every home should receive an invitation to participate in the 2020 Census. You will have three options for responding:

• Online.
• By phone.
• By mail.

JS Aucoin Elementary urges every family to participate. The Statistics in Schools flyer in English https://share.peachjar.com/flyers/952317/schools/82427 and Spanish https://share.peachjar.com/flyers/952328/schools/82427 can provide you with additional information for this important upcoming event. You can also find these flyers in our Peachjar E-Flyers area.
