And that's a WRAP to our Red Ribbon Week festivities! Throughout LSD, our students have been learning all about the dangers of various substances and how to make healthy, drug-free choices. To wrap up our learning, Brad Wellons from the Louisiana Campaign for Tobacco-Free Living came to present this afternoon to our secondary students about smoking/vaping.
A big THANK YOU to Brad for taking the time to educate our students and help them make informed, healthy decisions!
Our War Eagles are making healthy choices, not just during Red Ribbon Week, but every day! 🦅

Students at the Louisiana School for the Visually Impaired recently took center stage during White Cane Day, leading interactive activities that showed how they navigate school, work, and daily life. Through demonstrations of Braille, assistive technology, and white cane travel, students helped visitors gain a greater understanding of independence, accessibility, and opportunity, according to the article by WBRZ.

🚌 WE DID IT! 💚🤟🏼✨
A HUGE shoutout to all of our amazing Transportation Staff who participated in our very first ASL Boot Camp! 🎉🤟🏼
For the past two weeks, our drivers and monitors stepped outside of their comfort zones, learned new signs, practiced communicating, and most importantly—worked toward creating stronger connections with the students we serve. 💚
Our first two weeks were a HUGE success, and we couldn’t be more proud of everyone who showed up, participated, and embraced the learning experience! 👏🏼👏🏼
This is just the beginning! 🙌🏼 We are so excited to continue our ASL journey, build our vocabulary, and become even more confident communicators. 🤟🏼
Thank you to everyone who helped make our Boot Camp possible and to our transportation team for being willing to LEARN, GROW & CONNECT! 🚌💚🤟🏼
Here’s to many more signs, smiles, and successful rides! 💙

SSD Board Meeting Notice: The SSD Board meeting will take place on November 4, 2026 at 1 PM. An agenda for this meeting is forthcoming.
We value access from start to finish for our students' school day - Check out our American Sign Language boot camp for our transportation providers! Do you spy your child's bus team? 👀
To help streamline transportation communication and make sure families can quickly reach the right person when questions come up, we’ve put together an updated transportation contact list. 🚌💨
Please save this information for easy reference throughout the school year. If your child rides a parish/district bus, please contact that transportation provider directly regarding pick-up/drop-off times and locations. Families should continue to contact the LSDVI Transportation Office for LSDVI transportation questions if your provider isn't able to provide the information needed.
Our goal is to make transportation communication as clear and efficient as possible for our families. Thank you for helping us keep everyone connected and informed!

The September edition of the SSD Newsletter has been published. This month's edition highlights a strong start to the 2026-2027 school year across the district centered around our theme: "Students First".
Some of the progress shared this month include the Louisiana School for the Deaf's "Dare to SOAR, Don't Settle!" initiative focused on academic growth, literacy, and student belonging. At CLSSC, students stayed active over the summer with hands-on learning opportunities. We also get updates from Shared Services, Teaching and Learning, and Operations showing the ongoing work that is going on across the district.
You can read the full newsletter at this link.
We are excited to announce that Community ASL classes are back for FALL 2026!
