🦁 Roar into EBR: Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: Can I attend if my child is already enrolled in EBR?
A: This event is specifically designed to help families who need to enroll a child in the East Baton Rouge Parish School System. If your child is already enrolled, you don’t need to attend—unless you’re enrolling a sibling. In that case, we absolutely welcome you to join us as your family completes the enrollment process!
Q2: I don’t have all my paperwork yet. Can I still come?
A: Yes! Come as you are. We’ll have EBR staff on-site to walk you through the enrollment process and help you understand how to get any missing documentation. You don’t have to have everything in hand to take the first step.
Q3: Will there be school supplies available?
A: We’ll have small amounts of supplies and prize giveaways available for those who are enrolling at the event. For a larger giveaway with more supplies for all students, stay tuned—EBR will host a big back-to-school supply event in August. More details will be announced soon!

Tara Trojans started their volleyball camp this week for middle and high schoolers. Starting with basic fundamentals to refresh minds before students start practicing for their schools in August, working on correcting arm angles, the best ways of jumping higher, the correct form when passing, and workouts to do at home are key to becoming a great athlete. 🏐
