The school’s SmartLab allows students in all grades to engage in digital communications, mechanics and structures, robotics, software engineering, 3D printing, sustainability, and more. Our newest campus addition is the Renewable Energy lab where students learn about energy and work to make our school more energy efficient and environmentally conscious. Our outdoor classrooms and school gardens are also an integral part of our students’ education. Students express themselves through the Tigerettes dance team, robotics competition team, 4-H Club, Student Council, Lego Cub, Junior Beta Club, Drama Club, and others.
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.
