On pages 194 and 195 in the Bayou Pigeon book, you will find a brief history of the beginning of the Bayou Pigeon School. The authors thought that any official (public) school history started with the purchase of property from the Anatole Berthelot Family to build a school.
Recently doing some new research, we discovered some new information, i.e., records digitized and now available from the internet.

How did students and teachers get to the School?
Spelling words Herbert Paul Vaughn Oct. 27, 1933
Note that this document corroborates there was school in the fall of 1931, if the school building / construction on the newly purchased Berthelot property was completed within / between April and Sept. it would be at the new school. It is possible the school could have been built and opened by Sept. 1931. The authors think that is the most likely scenario.
