Equipping students for a healthy, safe, and drug-free future

As the anniversaries of Hurricanes Katrina and Rita approach, many of our fellow Louisianians and Gulf Coast neighbors are still in the process of recovery. The East Baton Rouge Parish School System is proud to have opened its doors and classrooms to children who have been unable to return to their former neighborhoods and schools.  We understand that many of our new students continue to be physically and emotionally impacted and that the anniversary of traumatic events often causes strong emotions to resurface.   Because the health and safety of all of our students, including our relocated students, is important to us, please use the information and links on this page if you need assistance in meeting this challenge.
