"We will be dealing with the portal, rest assured. It won't get the best of us; Hogwarts always bounces back." Look at all the dangers the castle has faced and it was still up and running. "We will get Carlton back, but I think it's best if the Staff heads inside if anyone goes. We do not know what is in there so it's far too dangerous. You and your fellow students can help in other ways." So yes, Noelle could still help them in getting Carlton and any other students who might vanish back.
As she talked, Rosalyn headed them towards the castle and up to the second floor, stopping once she reached the stone gargoyles. It really helped knowing the password because otherwise she had no idea how long she would have to wait for the Headmistress to head this way. After giving it to the stone gargoyle, she waited for it to let them gain access. Quote:

Noelle barely registered what Professor Newton was saying. She was forming a plan in her head even as she followed, raced beside the professor to the Stone Gargoyle. She'd only been in the Headmistress' office once before. When she was taken back to school from her Dungeon Days. She eyed the stone and waited for it to open.
"Do you think the Headmistress will let us help?" Meaning the prefects and anyone else that wanted to help. After the return of Junia Botros and Henrietta Kramer from the world on the other side of the portal, the headmistress had been making many trips from her office to the restricted area on the sixth floor to check in those who were on patrol. It made her feel uneasy that the mysterious hole in the wall was still there, though she was relieved that those who had been dutifully at their stations had been keeping anyone from foolishly jumping through it.
She was actually returning to her office after checking in on one of the professors that was now patrolling the restricted area. So far, so good. No one was going anywhere near or, most importantly, coming out of the portal. A look of relief had been plastered on her face, until she saw Rosalyn and Miss Summers at the gargoyle. Even though the password had been said, it wasn't going to move if she wasn't in there.
"Let you help with what?" Regina asked as she stepped next to them. Her eyes looked from the Gryffindor to the professor. Their composure, especially that of the teenage girl, told her that this wasn't a casual visit.
