In addition to school-based resources and support, the district offers system-wide resources for current and former students, alumni, and families. Services including graduation verification, records and transcripts can be accessed through the district.
NOLA PS accesses records via the Louisiana Department of Education via Student Transcript System (STS) where schools and school districts provide permanent records. NOLA Public Schools has partnered with Parchment, a leader in eTranscript exchange, to send high school transcripts and education verifications electronically, securely, and confidentially, to the institution you choose. The service is available online, 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Alumni can request a transcript and designate the academic institution, organization or individual that they would like to receive it. Users will be notified when their request is complete and can also track the status of their request or view a saved copy of their transcript. While charter schools are all authorized by NOLAPS, we do not maintain records for individual charter schools. The records of closed schools, schools formerly maintained by the RSD, can be obtained from the LDOE using the link below.
