Students across the capital region didn't attend school for four days because of the second-lowest temperatures and second-largest snowfall in the region's history. 

But how will students make up these lost days? 

Each district will be handling things differently. Some had built-in weather event days, while others chose to reallocate development days into class days. 

Here is a list of what each school district is doing with their makeup days: 

Ascension Parish: Two of the district's days were virtual learning and the other two days will be made up by canceling some of its early releases.

Baker: Monday, Feb. 17 will no longer be a full professional development day. Students will instead report for an early dismissal day and the afternoon will be devoted to professional development.

East Baton Rouge Parish: Feb. 19, May 20 and May 21 will be changed from half days to full days. May 23 is a half day and the last day of school for students, teachers and support staff.

Livingston Parish: Students will now have a regular class day restored on either Feb. 11, 12 or 13. The district had allocated one professional development day for each campus to be held on one of these days. This will now be converted to a full learning day.

St. Mary Parish: High school students will be required to attend class during a previously scheduled district-wide Parent-Teacher Conference date on March 21. Elementary and middle schools will not attend class this day.

Tangipahoa Parish: March 17 will be changed from a professional development day to a class day for students. Additionally, 10 minutes will be added to each school day — five at the start and five at the end — each school day from Feb. 12 to April 11. 

West Feliciana Parish: The district had the first two days of the snowstorm as remote learning days and used two of its four contingency days for the rest of the storm. No days will have to be made up.
