Regrettably, an unexpected outage has occurred & Mann is now completely without power. We will now dismiss at 11 a.m. Parents who wish to pick up their students earlier may do so.We apologize for this inconvenience.Entergy estimates restoration between 3-4PM. We will update you.
Mann Family:
Due to a partial power outage, a small portion of the building is without power. School will still be in session, but while restoration is underway, we will move students to areas/classrooms with power. Lunch will also be provided to students. We'll keep you updated.
Due to the threat of severe weather moving into our area, LRSD will dismiss school early today, all after-school activities are cancelled, and CARE will be closed. Elementary sites will dismiss at 1:30 p.m., followed by secondary schools at 2:30 p.m. This decision was made in the best interest of students and staff, in consultation with the National Weather Service, LRSD’s Emergency Management and Transportation teams, and surrounding districts. Please note that if tornado sirens are activated during these dismissal times, we will initiate our shelter-in-place procedures, and building doors will be locked until the threat has passed. Thank you for your understanding as we prioritize the safety and well-being of our students and staff. Please stay safe.
