Please review this handbook with your child to understand the rules and policies at Port Barre Elementary. Changes do take place from year to year, so returning students/families should read the Student Handbook at the start of each new school year. Unfamiliarity with the rules and policies contained within this Student Handbook is no excuse, as all students and families are held accountable for following both district and school policies. Port Barre Elementary School’s rules, policies, and other information are updated on the website, https://portbarreelem.slpsb.org/. More district policies and information, including the district Student Handbook, are available on the St. Landry Parish School Board website, https://www.slpsb.org.

Meet the Teacher night will be held on Monday, August 16, 2021 from 4:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. Letters were mailed last week informing you of your child's homeroom teacher. We encourage you to bring your child's school supplies at this time.

PreK students do not need to attend this night. Parents will have an orientation on Wednesday, August 18 with the teacher and you will bring school supplies at that time.

Parents will need to bring proof of residency at this time (light bill, water bill, lease agreement, mortgage in parent's name) for the upcoming school year. Paperwork will also be updated during this time. Student registration fees may also be paid at this time.

All PBES students will be issued ID badges this school year. The ID will be clipped on to the student's uniform shirt. Pictures may be taken during Meet and Greet. Please have your student dress in uniform shirt if they wish to take their picture. All remaining students will have their picture taken during staggered entry days. Replacement badges will cost $5.00 and additional clips will cost $1.00 each,

School of Choice applicants will receive an approval letter in the mail. Please withdraw your child from his or her base school and bring the withdrawal form and the approval letter to PBES in order to be transferred. Students will not be placed on a roster until this process takes place.

Please visit the PBES spirit shop store to purchase spirit wear for the 2021-2022 school year. All 2021-2022 spirit shirts may be worn during the school week. The spirit shop will close on Wednesday, August 25. Orders will be prepared and sent to school 14 days after the store closes. Students may wear last year's spirit shirts until these come in. Uniform shirts for those new to school are red, white, or navy polo shirts.
