Good morning North Little Rock Academy Families, next week students will take semester exams. Attached is the attentive exam schedule.
The North Little Rock School District has made a temporary and immediate change to its Point of Contact (POC) position for staff, students, and parents to report positive COVID-19 cases and to serve as the district’s liaison to the Arkansas Department of Health.

If it is an emergency, please call 911.

The North Little Rock School District is striving to become a "High Reliability School" district within the next three years. This distinction will indicate that we have implemented best practices and procedures to improve student achievement. A part of this distinction requires our collecting data through research from our stakeholders. We need our families to take this survey to identify areas of strength and areas of need from your perspective.

Dear Parent(s) of North Little Rock Academy, We (NLR Academy Staff) would like for our students to have a successful year, in spite of the educational changes caused by the pandemic. Our staff is working hard to meet all safety precautions outlined by the CDC and NLRSD. At this current time, we have noticed an increase in student's absences. If a student exceeds the allotted amount of unexcused absences, in a school year they may not receive credit for a particular course. With so many things going on in the world today, we would like the chance to decrease the worries of your child’s educational needs. The 2nd 9 weeks of this school year will begin on October 20, 2020. We would like to see your student on site in the classroom setting on that day. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to give us a call at (501)955-3600.
Students and staff across the district are wearing red today to bring awareness to dyslexia. October is Dyslexia Awareness Month!
