The Tangipahoa Parish School System, in partnership with the community, is committed to provide strong instructional leadership, a safe and orderly environment, high expectations, and a system to measure achievement which enables each student to achieve at his/her maximum intellectual capacity and to become an independently contributing, responsible member of society.

Instruction occurs in an environment that is conducive to learning. Effective instruction requires order and discipline which necessitates the absence of distractions, frictions, and disturbances. A learning environment provides a positive, friendly, yet business like atmosphere where students and school personnel work cooperatively toward recognized goals.

To assist the parent and the student in working toward those goals, this handbook will:

outline parishwide policies and procedures.
describe the role of the parent and student.
