NEW ORLEANS CAREER CENTER RESUMES JANUARY 4TH, STUDENTS SHOULD FOLLOW GUIDANCE FROM HOME HIGH SCHOOLS REGARDING ATTENDANCE

PRESS RELEASE
Published on 01/03/22

New Orleans Career Center (NOCC) will resume classes as scheduled for the Spring semester on Tuesday, January 4, 2022. NOCC students and staff will continue to follow current COVID vaccination and testing rules established by the City of New Orleans and Mayor LaToya Cantrell. 

All students should follow guidance from their home high schools about attendance requirements regarding vaccination, testing or quarantine. For example, a student cleared for in-person instruction at their home high school will be allowed to attend class at NOCC in person as well. 

Students whose home high schools have switched to virtual learning may be able to attend NOCC in-person but will need to provide their own transportation to NOCC. NOCC buses will resume service on the same day each school returns to in-person instruction. 

Anyone with questions regarding NOCC guidelines should contact the student’s NOCC instructor via Schoology. Questions about requirements for returning to specific schools should be directed to students’ high school guidance counselors.
