Making a splash for a skill that can save a life!
Through a partnership between EBR Schools and the YMCA of the Capital Area, elementary students are receiving free swim lessons and learning essential water-safety skills.
Community leaders joined the students in the pool, getting in on the action and showing their support for these young swimmers. It was a fun reminder that water safety is a skill worth making time for.
We’re proud to help remove barriers and give our students the skills, confidence and knowledge they need to stay safe around the water.
The East Baton Rouge Parish School System is advising families that school bus transportation may experience delays during the Friday afternoon commute home because of weather and road conditions across the parish. Transportation staff members are working to safely transport students while navigating possible heavy traffic, flooded areas and impacted roadways caused by
changing weather conditions.
District officials said student safety remains the top priority as drivers continue routes throughout the parish. The district appreciates the understanding and cooperation of families and the community during the weather event.
