If you haven't signed up for weekly onsite COVID testing, it is not too late. Testing is conducted every Wednesday at PBES by a team of healthcare professionals using a non-evasive nose swab. Results are sent via text/email within 12-24 hours. In order for your child to participate in testing, you’ll need to register them for the program. If you have previously registered, you do not need to register again. Click here to register your child for the program. This link if for PBES students only. https://home.color.com/covid/sign-up/start?partner=ldh-por-129-students A parent or guardian must register any minor under 18 years old. You’ll give a one-time consent and HIPAA authorization to share their results with the school and district. Testing is not required, but highly encouraged to keep our school community safe.

PBES: Beginning January 3, 2022, all staff, students, and visitors to St. Landry Parish schools and its facilities will be required to wear a mask while on campus. Faculty and staff return on Monday, Jan. 3. Students return Tuesday, Jan. 4.
