Displaced Due to Hurricane Ida?

  • As a family, you may be experiencing a difficult time as a result of Hurricane Ida's devastation. We would like to provide your child with a quality education and support your family as you navigate through this tough time. If you are temporarily displaced, double-housed, living with relatives or in a shelter, we are here to help you. Please complete the brief survey below. We will respond to you with information regarding student registration and share resources that may be available. This page also includes information about the registration process for students displaced due to Hurricane Ida.  

    Displaced Student Registration Support Survey

    Students displaced by Hurricane Ida qualify for homeless status if they are sharing housing with other persons, including those who are doubled-up with family members or are living in shelters, motels, hotels, trailer parks or camping grounds due to lack of adequate accommodations. Students who qualify for homeless status may be eligible for benefits and protections such as free meals, uniform assistance, and other educational supports. Learn more about how JP Schools identifies and supports homeless children and youth. 

    How do I register?

    Our registration process is handled online. If your child attended school in a district that used JCampus, your child will already have information in JCampus. Search using your child’s SIDNO and/or name. If your child did not attend a school that used JCampus, don’t worry, you will be able to register by uploading documents. Don’t have access to a computer? You can make an appointment with the school for assistance, and you will have time to gather your documents.
