students and employees can help the New Orleans Saints celebrate their Super Bowl victory. After care programs are encouraged to continue as scheduled however, parents will need to check with their individual schools for specific details.

    " Well I do understand the reasoning for the parade. on the other hand I think that this school year the schools are closing for any reason.. one day it was cold and maybe icy roads, dismissed early due to a storm that didnt even affect us and now this.. Seriously the school staff is loving this.. but some parents work full time also and this last minute early dismissal is crazy !! just my opinion.. "
