Congratulations to our March Employee of the Month, East Feliciana Enrichment Academy's Susan Louque! She exemplifies dedication to her students. Teaching grades 6th through 12th grade (and occasionally 4th and 5th grade!), she maintains consistent class instruction regardless of whether she is teaching one student or twenty-five. Her practices align with the Louisiana Educator Rubric and promote student engagement. Her commitment to the district’s mission of Excellence, Every Day, along with her kindness and collaborative spirit, make this recognition well-deserved.

Out of an abundance of caution, Monday, January 26 will be a distance learning day for East Feliciana Public Schools. The safety of our students and staff is our number one priority. Students should plan to complete the first day of assignments from the distance learning packets they received on Friday. Based on guidance from meteorologists and parish emergency management officials and due to the potential for hazardous winter weather conditions, all East Feliciana Public Schools and offices will be closed on Monday, January 26. Throughout this weather event, we will continue to provide you with updates via JCampus. Please stay safe and warm!
We are proud to announce that Karen Dunn-Sims of East Feliciana High School is East Feliciana Public Schools' District Outstanding School Support Employee of the Year!

Congratulations to our January Students of the Month, who were recognized with the Civic Star Award! These students serve as role models of respectful behavior, fairness, and leadership.
