ASCENSION PARISH - Several schools in Ascension Parish experienced weather-related outages Thursday morning and as of 8:20 a.m. Entergy says power has been restored. 

It was around to a Facebook post on Ascension Parish Schools' official account, it was shortly before 8 a.m. when power went out at Dutchtown Primary, Dutchtown Middle, and Dutchtown High School campuses, which meant phone service was also been interrupted. 

The school systems posted, "We are planning for a normal school day with appropriate adjustments until power can be restored. Fortunately, breakfast was prepared before the power outage so there will be no interruptions to breakfast service for students."
