Jefferson Parish School administrators lock step with Governor John Bel Edwards and require adults and children to wear masks inside school facilities.

The governor announced he is reinstating a statewide mask mandate starting Wednesday and end September 1.

“We will continue to work with medical experts to ensure our mitigation measures prioritize the safety of students and employees and are appropriate for the current health situation,” said JP Schools Superintendent Dr. James Gray. “As the virus and medical recommendations evolve, we will adjust our plans accordingly so we can continue to safely educate children.”

JP Schools released its Start Strong Jefferson plan July 29.

The first day of school for students in grades 1-12 is August 9.
