Students at Archdiocese of New Orleans Catholic schools should plan on getting back to in-person learning Sept. 13, school leaders said Saturday.
School and church leaders made the decision after the announcements from Entergy that power should be restored to the majority of the area by Sept. 8. Much of the region’s power was knocked out last weekend as Hurricane Ida swept into Louisiana.

Even though Sept. 13 is the target reopening date, each campus will be dependent on successfully completing a series of assessments, the archdiocese explained. Once power is restored, all buildings must undergo these assessments and inspections of HVAC, electrical, and plumbing systems.
Only after all the inspections are complete will a school be able to finalize and confirm a reopening date. Parents and guardians will be notified by their child(ren)’s school about school-specific reopening information. They should watch for email, text, and social media notifications.
Archdiocesan leadership hopes that by announcing an anticipated reopening date, families will be able to make necessary plans for a return to the area. Parents with questions are encouraged to reach out directly to their child(ren)’s school for specific information.
