North Little Rock School District

It's Public Schools Week! Reason #5 to attend the NLRSD: Sense of Community The North Little Rock School District is situated in such a generous community, and they want to see our schools and our students doing well. Many of them do this by volunteering on our campuses or even mentoring our students. We cherish this partnership, for it is truly beneficial for our students and staff.

The Superintendent and Board of Education recognized Amboy's 2nd and 3rd grade basketball team and Boone Park's 4th and 5th grade team on winning the championship in their respective divisions! What a phenomenal elementary basketball season!

At tonight's meeting, a group of Crestwood students performed a portion of a scene of "Finding Nemo." This spring, the school will present Annie Jr. Be sure to check them out!

At tonight's Regular Board Meeting, Crestwood Elementary School fifth grader Annie McCormick led the Pledge of Allegiance and fifth grader Roman Valovich gave the invocation.

It's Public Schools Week! Reason #4 to attend the NLRSD: Support for Each Child’s Academic Needs We want every student to thrive, and we will do whatever it takes to ensure that. We provide accommodations and services to support students who need a boost or greater academic depth. We look forward to working with families to enhance their student’s educational experience.

The NLRHS student ambassadors represent their campus and respective career academy. They provide students, potential students, families, and businesses with information on their school, their paths of study, and represent the student body at various events.

In addition, they continue to develop new skills and techniques through ongoing professional development.

Reason #2 to attend the NLRSD: Variety of Extracurricular Activities Yes, we are committed to teaching and learning in the NLRSD, but we also know learning continues after the school day ends. Are you interested in choir or band? We have it. Are you an aspiring thespian? We can help you with that. Want to play sports on the next level? You can join us. Do you want to be a part of the academic competitions? You can do that right here with us.

It's Public Schools Week! Reason #1 to attend the NLRSD: Diverse School Community The North Little Rock School District is extremely diverse, and our campuses bring together students from all walks of life. Our students come from homes where more than 20 different languages are spoken, reflecting the rich cultural diversity of our community. This creates a vibrant and welcoming environment for everyone.

All NLRSD campuses and offices will reopen on Monday, February 24, at their regular times. For our high school students, tomorrow will be an A Day. See you tomorrow!

Studying agriculture exposes scholars to a diverse range of career opportunities.

It’s National FFA Week, and as we prepare for the launch of the North Little Rock 6 Academy of Agricultural and Veterinary Sciences in the fall, we will take a look at some potential careers in agriculture. Career #7: Soil Scientist A soil scientist studies land and water resources to better understand soil that will be used for agriculture, forestry, and urban development.
