Water Pressure

St. John the Baptist Parish Government has just notified the school district that there is low water pressure at Fifth Ward Elementary. Due to this loss in pressure, we will out of an abundance of caution, provide bottled water for all students and staff today. Although we do not anticipate that this will affect our school day, we will closely monitor the situation and will update you of any changes in the school schedule if necessary.
