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

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.

Thank you to the sorority and the community for making a meaningful difference in the lives of our students.
