Great Job PPSB! We are so proud of you! 👏🏻🍊🧡

📚🌟 Plaquemines Parish Students Rank 5th in Louisiana 🌟📚

The latest End-of-Year K-3 Literacy Screener results from the Louisiana Department of Education show Plaquemines Parish Schools are ranked 5th in the state for students reading on grade level in Kindergarten through 3rd Grade. This outstanding achievement places our district among Louisiana's top-performing schools in early literacy.

Reading proficiency in early grades is one of the strongest indicators of future academic success.

The statewide literacy screener helps educators measure foundational reading skills and provide targeted support to students during their most important learning years.

We are proud of this achievement and remain committed to ensuring every student has the skills and support needed to succeed.

Congratulations to our entire PPSB community on this incredible accomplishment! 💙📖

Today was a sweet day as our 79th Royalty and members of the Plaquemines Parish Orange Festival gathered to celebrate “A slice of Plaquemines”! 🍊🍊
It is a beautiful sculpture made by the great artists of Layaya - Louisiana Young Artist & Young Authors.
This project would not have been possible without the support of Jason Campagna Papa Joe's Sno-Balls, Kim Turlich-Vaughan, Tea Bar NOLA, and our 76th Orange Queen Isa Rivera
The Plaquemines Parish Orange Festival thanks everyone who attended this dedication and we especially enjoyed the wonderful citrus snowball that is a must try!! 🍊🍊

Recently, Plaquemines Parish Government held a public meeting to discuss citizen input and the submission of an application to secure funding through LA Office of Community Development (LA OCD). The purpose of this meeting was to obtain feedback on much improvements needed at our beloved Fort Jackson! 🍊🍊

But, WE NEED YOUR HELP! Please invite your family & friends to complete the survey on the link below 👇

This survey will determine the priority of repairs IF the parish is given the grant money which will be much needed at our festival “home”! 🍊🍊

Please mention Plaquemines Parish Orange Festival when possible! 🧡🍊
