Why KIPP New Orleans?

At KIPP New Orleans Schools, our approach to education goes beyond academics. We champion boundless academic growth through joyful discoveries tailored to each child’s unique learning style and interests. Our dedicated teachers ignite curiosity and guide scholars to cultivate their passions, creating an environment where creativity and individuality flourishes alongside high expectations and clear milestonesβ€”from pre-K to graduation day.

In addition to our academic focus, we believe in providing impactful opportunities for KIPPsters to explore, develop friendships, and pursue passions within the school day.

Our robust programs, including arts, robotics, and sportsβ€”typically deemed extracurricular at other schoolsβ€”are seamlessly woven into the KIPPster experience. This unique approach allows scholars ample time to discover and build distinctive talents and strengths, enabling them to proudly stand out from the crowd.

In our classrooms, libraries, and local neighborhoods, learning adventures unfold daily.

Scholars confidently navigate both independent and collaborative projects, while field trips, competitions, and performances provide glimpses of promising futures. The skills and knowledge acquired from pre-K to graduation day empower KIPPsters to continue achieving long after commencement as successful alumni.

At KIPP New Orleans, we know strong attendance starts at homeβ€”and our amazing Office Manager, Ms. Emerald Greathouse at KIPP Believe, is here to break it down for families in this week’s Attendance Matters video πŸ’œ

She’s joined by Officer Nippie and Nurse Burkhalter, who help families understand the real difference between excused and unexcused absencesβ€”and what to do when you’re unsure.

πŸ‘ΆπŸΎ Pre-K and Kindergarten? Yes, it counts! Every day helps our youngest KIPPsters build routines, friendships, and confidence for a strong future.
πŸ€’ Headache? Try Tylenol or Advil and come to school.
πŸ‘©πŸΎβ€βš•οΈ Always consult with your child’s doctor if you’re unsureβ€”but remember, every day in school matters.
πŸ‘• No uniform yet? Come anywayβ€”we got you.
βœ… Excused absences include fever, medical appointments, or family emergencies.

πŸ“Š Students with strong attendance are 25% more likely to hit high academic success. 

We’re building habits, confidence, and imagining great futuresβ€”together.

Let’s keep showing up, KIPP family! πŸ’ͺπŸΎπŸ“š
