What an exciting STEM night at Westdale! We gasped at experiments that went "boom!", explored swamp life, and got hands-on with Liberty Magnet`s Robotics team. We even learned how teamwork and engineering create race cars with LSU TigerRacing. A night full of curiosity,
creativity, and fun!

Jamie Quincy is an 8th grade ELA teacher at Scotlandville Pre-Engineering Magnet Academy! 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. She enjoys being an inspiration, helping students recognize their opportunities, and preparing them for high school and the real world while showing them that someone outside of their home truly cares.
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
