Advanced Search

 

This option applies to overlapping program conditions.  Select only a Grade & Program to verify whether a student might be assigned to a different school.  NOTE:  If a specific school is chosen, “open enrollment” status displays (currently not valid in JPPSS).

 

Street names

 

A street’s legal name often is shortened to a local reference in conversation, e.g. I-10 Service Road v. N I-10 Service Rd W.  If a “street match” list appears, choose a valid name then click “Use selected match.” 

 

Zip Codes

 

There are areas in the parish where names and addresses overlap.  To refine a search if no response is displayed, enter a zip code.  For Bridge City area, only enter a zip code for Oak Av or River Rd addresses.
