Dear North Little Rock Academy Parents & Students,
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.
Please take the survey: https://bit.ly/3iC7PtQ
Thank you for being a part of our district!
It's National School Counseling Week! It's a time to bring attention to the unique contributions of school counselors.
We sure have dynamic counselors in the NLRSD! We couldn't prepare our students for the world without them.
Thank you, counselors!
