North Little Rock Academy Students Visit Glenview Elementary! 🚌 Today, our middle and high school students from The North Little Rock Academy had the exciting opportunity to read to 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders in the Glenview Elementary library! 📚 Mr. Sandy Williams, Director of NLR Academy, and Dr. Barbara Jones, NLR Academy Media Specialist, introduced our students and spoke to Glenview students about the importance of making good choices. Our NLR Academy students read Pumpkin Jack to the 3rd graders and Zombies in the Library: Return to the Library of Doom to 4th and 5th graders. They also helped Glenview students create fun bookmarks to take home! A special thank you to our North Little Rock Academy leadership, staff, and guest readers for taking time to make this visit so special. When asked about the experience, Glenview students said they loved having older students read to them and hope our readers come back soon! 💛💙 Our students are making a positive impact in and out of the classroom! 🌟 #NLRAproud #CommunityConnections #ReadingRocks #MakingGoodChoices #StudentLeaders

All medication that is not picked up by Friday will be destroyed or discarded, per district guidelines. If your student will be attending summer school, please speak with your child's building nurse to make arrangements.

As you know, the North Little Rock School District closed schools and district offices early on Wednesday, April 2 because of inclement weather.  To avoid extending the school year, the district will add five minutes to the end of the school day beginning Monday, April 14.

If additional schedule changes become necessary, the school year may extend beyond this date. Thank you for your understanding!

While we have experienced inclement weather over the past several days, there has been little to no impact on our schools and Central Office sites. Therefore, all campuses and district sites will be open tomorrow at normal times. We understand that travel conditions may still be challenging for some, and we encourage everyone to prioritize safety in their commutes.
