Effective immediately, masks are now optional in the North Little Rock School District.
Our district leaders and principals assembled to discuss goals to improve student outcomes at their respective campuses.
The modified lockdown at NLRHS/Center of Excellence has been lifted. All students and staff are safe. The safety and security of students and staff remain our top priority.
Earlier this morning, dozens of students from North Little Rock High School and the Center of Excellence participated in a peaceful protest for a short period of time outside of the building. Upon returning to class, a small group of protesters continued to rally. As a result, administrators initiated a modified lockdown as a precaution. The students and staff are safe and secure, and there is no immediate threat. The safety and security of the students and staff remain our top priority.
Happy Friday!

Thank you for being a part of the North Little Rock School District!
It is Transportation Staff Appreciation Week! We are so thankful for the compassionate transportation staff that are the first district employees many of students see in the mornings and the last district employees they see in the afternoons. We couldn't do this without them!
The "Great Rising" award recognizes individuals who are mentoring in our schools. "Great Rising" was a common greeting used by Dr. Scot Tyler, our former Transportation Director. He co-chaired our district's adult-mentoring program.
The inaugural recipient of this award is Miya Humphrey. Humphrey has begun mentoring girls at the Seventh & Eighth Grade Campus twice a week. They discuss topics like depression, anger management, self-confidence, and jealousy.
Thank you, Ms. Humphrey, for pouring into the lives of our students!
This month's STAR recipient is Brian Kelton. He has been a tremendous asset at Boone Park Elementary! Staff at BPE said Kelton is amazing and they can always count on him. He will assist in any way to ensure teachers and students are uplifted and supported.
Mrs. Karla Whisnant, Principal at the North Little Rock Center of Excellence, accepted a plaque from Dr. Pilewski to commemorate the COE's growth in math on last year's ACT Aspire exam. The school was recognized for top growth among schools in the region.
Congratulations!
