Many New Orleans students are finding out where they'll go to school this fall. OneApp placements went out in the mail and through email on Thursday.
Lashunda Dean was at work when she got the email from OneApp.
"My first reaction was like 'yay! Oh my God! Yeah!'" she says. "And then I opened the email and I was like 'oh, okay, well.'"
Her son William, a fifth-grader, got his second choice. Dean was disappointed but not surprised.
"I knew it was gonna be a slim chance of getting in," she says. Because their top choice had very few open seats.
Still, Dean's looking forward to a fresh start. William currently attends Miller McCoy, a school that's closing this spring.
"I'm hopeful that this school is gonna be better," she says.
Kristen Morgan is Executive Director of Student Enrollment with EnrollNOLA.
"It feels really exciting to know that families finally have the information they've been looking for for the last few months," she says. "We're excited to see families being able to make plans now for the future."
The enrollment process isn't over yet. To claim their seats, students have to bring registration forms to their new schools by May 15.
