NOLA-PS To Provide Update on TS Laura in Coming Days
NEW ORLEANS – (Aug. 23, 2020) – NOLA Public Schools (NOLA-PS) is announcing school closures and cancellation of all school-based activities for Monday and Tuesday of this week due to Tropical Storm Marco. With this announcement, all public school buildings will be closed until Wednesday. Though classes district-wide are currently being done through distance learning, some school buildings have been open to school staff and teachers for use. As of right now, all classes, though virtual, will be suspended for Monday and Tuesday.
These closures will also affect the prepared meals being offered to families for pick-up. Announcements will be made when they resume.
The District will continue to monitor the two storms over the next few days and will reassess needs for additional closures due to Tropical Storm Laura as we continue to learn more on the potential impacts to our area.
NOLA-PS reminds everyone to remain vigilant and to monitor the City’s announcements for updates regarding the storm. NOLA-PS will post all storm related announcements on its social media as well.
