In her first year at SPEMA and with 16 years in education, all with EBR, she loves working with students and seeing those moments when everything clicks.

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
