As you have heard from the interviews with Mr. Strong, WCPSB Superintendent, West Carroll Parish Schools will be participating in what we are calling a “Soft Opening”. The main reason for this is to help teachers, students, and administrators have smaller groups of students on site to practice procedures that we have in place to minimize the spread of any illnesses. Teachers and administrators will observe to see what works well and what needs to be improved prior to having all students on campus at one time. This time will also allow us to teach the procedures to students in smaller groups and provide an opportunity for elementary students to have one parent come to school with them for a short time on the first day.
