A notification graphic from the Lafourche Parish School District announcing a power outage at North Larose Elementary for Friday, August 7, 2026.
The Lafourche Parish School District McKinney-Vento Program recently hosted its annual districtwide Parental Day at Lockport Middle School. This year’s inspiring theme, “Aviate, Navigate & Educate with the McKinney-Vento Program,” reflected the program’s commitment to helping families overcome barriers, connect with valuable resources, and empower students to achieve academic success.

The event welcomed 140 students and their families for a day filled with educational opportunities, community partnerships, and essential support services.

The program was honored to welcome Dr. Antiqua Hunter, Louisiana Department of Education State McKinney-Vento Coordinator, who delivered an encouraging message to families about the importance of educational stability and the resources available through the McKinney-Vento Program. Pittre Walker addressed the participating vendors, expressing appreciation for their continued partnership and dedication to serving families throughout the parish. Melissa Walker of Catholic Charities shared valuable information about the organization’s programs and services that help families facing housing and other challenges.

A highlight of the event was the participation of 29 community vendors, who provided information and resources to help families access educational, health, counseling, employment, and community support services. Participating organizations included AmeriHealth, Ascent, Bayou Lafourche Area Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., Bayou Land Families Helping Families, Bi-Parish Bayou National Association of University Women (NAUW), Caring Angels Transportation, Catholic Charities, Chiasson Eye Care, Cups and Capabilities, LLC, Community Action, Family Start Corporation, Fletcher Technical Community College, Lafourche Parish Library, Lafourche Parish School District Migrant, Pre-K, and Indian Education Departments, Lafourche Parish Brief Therapy, LPSD PAC Child Search, Lafourche Parish Sheriff’s Office, Magnolia, Office of Public Health, Ochsner St. Anne General Hospital, South Central Louisiana Human Services Authority (SCLHSA), Shining for Cells, and Start Corporation.

The McKinney-Vento Program also extends heartfelt appreciation to its generous contributors whose support helped make the event a success: Acadia Family Dentistry, Big Mike’s Smokehouse, CanU Tri-Parish, Entergy, LOC, Lowe’s, Swamp Bayou Kitchen, Synergy Bank, Visions Outreach, & Williams and Technical College.

“This event would not have been possible without the unwavering support of our community partners, vendors, and contributors,” said the Quintina Brown, LPSD homeless liaison. “Together, we are helping families navigate barriers, access critical resources, and create brighter futures for our students.”

The annual Parental Day serves as the McKinney-Vento Program’s districtwide parental engagement event, bringing together families, schools, and community organizations to strengthen partnerships that support students experiencing homelessness. As a reminder all students have to re-qualify for McKinney-Vento services each school year. Families who are in need of services should complete required forms for the 2026-2027 school year.

The Louisiana Department of Education released 2025-2026 LEAP data today, and we are incredibly proud to celebrate our district’s continued academic growth and achievement.

The percentage of LPSD students in grades 3-12 performing at mastery level or above grew by two points, outperforming the state average by eight percentage points and placing our district in the Top 10 systems in the state for students achieving Mastery or Advanced. These are the first LEAP results that will be used to calculate School and District Performance Scores under Louisiana’s new Grow, Thrive, Achieve accountability model, which will be released this fall.

“Our latest performance scores are a direct reflection of the tireless work and dedication of our students, teachers, and staff who continue to push boundaries and raise academic standards in every classroom,” said Superintendent Jarod W. Martin. “While we celebrate this tremendous progress, we remain deeply committed to building on this momentum to close achievement gaps and ensure continued growth and success for every student in Lafourche Parish.”

To view the entire report, visit LDOE’s website at: https://doe.louisiana.gov/about/news-releases/release/2026/07/06/louisiana-students-achieve-record-high-performance-on-leap

Individual student LEAP scores are now available for review. Parents and guardians can securely access LPSD student LEAP scores through OnCourse Connect.

Congratulations to all of our students, teachers, support staff, families and community partners on your hard work and commitment to excellence. Together, we will keep moving Lafourche forward.
