Dear EBR Families,
Out of an abundance of caution due to the winter weather, possible icy road conditions and power outages expected on Monday, East Baton Rouge Parish Schools will move to an asynchronous learning day on Monday, January 26.
Students will not report to school in person. Teachers will provide assignments and learning activities for students to complete at home, and families should monitor school and teacher communications for specific instructions.
We will continue to closely monitor weather conditions throughout the weekend and remain in communication with local meteorologists. Any additional updates will be shared as soon as they are available.
Thank you for your continued partnership and support as we prioritize the safety of our students and staff.
Sincerely,
LaMont Cole

Get ready for an exciting soccer season as we kick off the fun. Middle school teams will be battling it out on the field every Tuesday and Wednesday at Westdale Middle. Come join us to cheer them on and experience the excitement! Don’t miss out on the action!
The East Baton Rouge Parish School System is closely monitoring the winter weather forecast expected this weekend and into early next week.

Our team is in constant communication with local meteorologists and emergency partners as we evaluate conditions and determine whether we can safely hold school on Monday. This includes monitoring temperatures, road conditions, and the potential impact on buses, campuses, and facilities.

We will provide a decision regarding school operations and any possible closures early Sunday afternoon, once the most up-to-date and reliable forecast information is available.

We appreciate your patience as we take the time needed to make a decision that prioritizes the safety of our students and staff while also considering the needs of our families.

It was an incredible Media Arts Day! Middle and high school media teams spent time at Southern University last Friday, working through the media production process. Under the guidance of Southern teachers and industry professionals, students engaged in hands-on work in film, photography, podcasting, and audio production. Some even got some studio time. #WeAreEBR #MassCommunication
As part of their Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service activities, members of the local Delta Sigma Theta Sorority collected hygiene and wellness items on Monday for the Broadmoor High School Health Care Center.
Community members donated essentials such as soap, deodorant, socks, T-shirts, and other personal care items to support Broadmoor’s on-campus center, affectionately known as the “Broadmoor Walgreens.”
Thank you to the sorority and the community for making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.
