Every Acadiana parish is offering a virtual option for school this fall.
We've pulled together the links and deadlines for parents who might need them. Below you will find each district's back-to-school plan, as well as links to their virtual school webpages and helpful dates.

Superintendent Scott Richard said parents who pre-register should expect a contact from system staff, who will ask questions and help parents navigate the process. IEP meetings and 504 meetings are being held virtually or by telephone to help those parents make decisions, Richard said.
"We are asking for everyone's patience and cooperation as we work through these unprecedented times," Richard said.
