Coming Soon: Live Bus Tracking for NPSB Families!📢

For the 2026-27 school year, parents and guardians will be able to use a new GPS bus tracking system designed to provide live, real-time bus location updates.

The new system is currently being finalized and will be ready for use within the first two weeks of the school year. Once it is available, parents and guardians will receive an email with instructions on how to access and use the new bus tracking system.

We look forward to providing this new service to our families very soon!

As many of you may know, construction is currently underway in downtown Natchitoches, resulting in temporary road closures and traffic detours that may impact travel to and from our schools beginning Monday, August 10.

We understand these closures may cause some inconvenience, especially during the busy morning commute. We kindly ask all parents, guardians, and staff to plan ahead, allow extra travel time, and use alternate routes when possible to help ensure everyone arrives safely and on time.

The safety of our students, families, and employees remains our top priority. Thank you for your understanding, flexibility, and cooperation during this time. We look forward to welcoming everyone back for a great school year!

On Juneteenth, we commemorate the end of slavery in the United States and honor the resilience, history, and contributions of African Americans throughout our nation.

Did you know? Juneteenth marks June 19, 1865 – the day when enslaved people in Galveston, Texas were finally informed of their freedom, more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.

This day serves as a time for reflection, education, and celebration of progress, while recognizing the work that continues to ensure equity and opportunity for all.

Natchitoches Parish Schools is proud to honor this important day and the diverse voices, histories, and experiences that strengthen our school community❤️🖤💚
