Sunday Scoop with the Supe
December 17, 2023
News and Notes from the VPSS Central Office
From the desk of the Superintendent
As this will be the last newsletter before we begin our Holiday season and the final newsletter of 2023, I just want to take a few minutes today to share a few thoughts as we head into our break and a new calendar year.
As we approach the holiday season, I want to extend my warmest wishes to each and every one of you. The holiday season is a time for reflection, gratitude and spreading joy, and I am truly grateful to be part of the truly dedicated team that we call the Vermilion Parish School System.
I am truly thankful to our students, parents, teachers, staff, and our communities for showing incredible strength and support as we took on all of the challenges of 2023 and again ranked amongst the best in the state. This doesn't happen without effort by all.
I know many get frustrated at times when things don't go perfect, but I do truly feel that we all pull together the best we can, with the resources at our hands, to put together a district that we should all be proud of. Sometimes when you are right in the midst of a district we tend to only see the bad and forget about the many great things that all of us accomplish and that other districts reach out to emulate our successes. Please take time during the holiday season to reflect on all the good things that Vermilion has done and has to offer.
Remember to remind your child that this is the final week of grading for the second nine weeks and to make sure that they finish up all their work before celebrating their break.
Again I say to you all Happy Holidays and Happy New Year. I will be taking a break with the newsletters until we return so I want to make sure and say thank you all again for making 2023 successful and for pushing us through the first half of the 23-24 school year.
Your Partner in Education,
Superintendent Tommy Byler
