St. Tammany Parish Public Schools and offices will be closed on Tuesday, September 2, 2008, to provide the community with the time needed to deal with the threat of Hurricane Gustav. “We know that many of our employees’ and students’ families will leave town this holiday week-end, with plans to remain away from home until the uncertainties about Hurricane Gustav become clear,” said Superintendent Gayle Sloan. 

Parents and employees are advised to consult the School System Web site, Channel 13 on Charter Cable Communications, our emergency message center ( inside the parish, 985-635-0801, Press 1, outside the parish, 1-800-580-1874),  and local media for updated information about any further days of school closing and information about when schools will reopen.
