ARE YOU NEW TO NOLA-PS?

Students who have never attended a NOLA Public School may enroll in open seats on a first-come, first-served basis on or after September 15, 2025. Placements are made in person at the Family Resource Centers based on seat availability. Families new to the system must provide parent/guardian identification, proof of residency, the child's birth certificate, and the most recent report card. Schools may require additional documents.

K-12 Main Round

NOLA Public Schools provides students and families with the opportunity to choose a school that best suits their interests and needs through the unified enrollment process, both through the annual NOLA-PS Common Application Process (NCAP) and the year-round enrollment process. CLICK HERE for details on who should participate in the Main Round NCAP.

The unified enrollment process offers students the opportunity to easily access all participating schools using a centralized process. Families who need a school for the current school year are able to enroll immediately in an available seat. Families seeking a new school for the next school year participate in the Main Round NCAP in the late fall/early winter. 

Main Round results are now available!

Mid-Year Transfers

Starting September 15, students are not permitted to transfer between schools only because of preference. When a NOLA-PS student needs to change schools mid-year, the family submits a Hardship Transfer Request or Accelerated Transfer Request.

The Hardship Transfer Categories & Requirements (en Español) (Tiếng Việt) document outlines eligible hardship transfer reasons with brief descriptions and requirements for supporting documentation.
