NOLA Public Schools’ unified enrollment system is for every child, every school, every day. Early Childhood and K-12 families use the NOLA-PS Common Application Process (NCAP) to rank preferred schools.

K-12 families new to NOLA-PS seeking a school for this year should contact one of our Family Resource Centers for enrollment guidance. Families seeking to transfer from a NOLA-PS school to a different school in the district must initiate the transfer process at the student’s current school. 

K-12 Families that did not participate in the Main Round and still need a seat for the 2022-2023 school year, families that want to try to match to a different placement, or families that want to be added to a school’s waitlist should participate in Round 2 by clicking on the button below.

Families can see the seat availability at Round 2 participating schools by viewing the Seat Availability Report.
