Lafayette Parish students returned to the classroom on Tuesday, September 8 after a summer of uncertainties due to COVID-19.
Starting on Tuesday, students in grades 1 through 12 with even numbered home addresses were the first to step foot onto campuses across the parish.
Students will alternate days with those with odd-numbered addresses. Those students will return to school on Wednesday, September 9.
Masks and other appropriate face coverings will be required for students in grades 3 through 12. Those in Prek through 2nd grade will need to wear masks outside of instructional time.
Social distancing will be followed in all area of school campuses and on buses where seating charts have been created to allow for spacing of students.
Thermal cameras are also in place to conduct temperature checks for students, faculty and staff.
