Two Eastbank Collaborative of Charter Schools members are moving to a new home for the holidays! Audubon Charter School is excited to announce its move of the Upper School Campus (Grades 4-8) from its current location on Carrollton Ave. to its newly renovated campus at 1111 Milan St. (the former McDonogh 7 campus).
 
New Orleans Military and Maritime Academy (NOMMA) will begin moving into its brand new Federal City building at 425 O'Bannon St in Algiers on December 19.  Students previously attended classes in the old Navy Exchange site, just steps away from the new construction.
 
To accommodate its move, Audubon has changed the school calendar to make students’ last day of school for the holiday break December 17. Teachers will remain at the school packing their classrooms through December 20 with the moving company arriving after Christmas.  All teachers and staff will help with the move to the new building, with teachers returning on January 6 to unpack the new location before students return on January 9.
 
“This is the best present we can get this holiday season,” said Audubon Charter Principal Janice Dupuy.  "Having our students settled into the new location as soon as possible is an important component in finishing this school year strong.”

The New Orleans Military and Maritime Academy (NOMMA) will hold an Open House for parents and prospective students in grades 9-12 on Monday,  October 21, 2013 from 5:30-7pm at its temporary Westbank Campus in Federal City at 2000 Opelousas Ave., Building H-100, New Orleans, LA 70146. Interested parents are invited to tour the school and meet faculty and staff.  Parents unable to make the Open House are encouraged to contact the school for information and tours at (504) 227-3810.
