As the Natchitoches Parish School Board (NPSB) prepares to begin the new school year this week, families are being asked to take note of several important district-wide changes affecting school locations and grade assignments.

Two major school relocations are now in effect:

• Natchitoches Magnet School has moved to 1001 E. Fifth Street
• Natchitoches Junior High (now serving grades 6–8) has moved to 800 Koonce Street

Families are reminded that students must have formally applied and been accepted to attend Natchitoches Magnet, NSU E-Lab, or NSU Middle Lab. All other students will attend one of the district’s assigned schools based on residential zones, which include the City of Natchitoches, Campti, and Marthaville/Provencal. To check zoning, visit the school zone map at: natchitoches.edgear.net/DMSZones.

Additional grade-level updates include:

• M.R. Weaver Elementary now serves grades 3–5, absorbing 5th grade from East Natchitoches.
• Natchitoches Junior High now includes 6th grade, also formerly housed at East Natchitoches.

District officials urge families to review all updates carefully and share this information to ensure a smooth start for every student on the first day of school.
