Club Eco Kidz has revised the times they will be providing meals to our students. Beginning 4/1, food distribution will be from 10 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. at all campuses. Also, please remember to fill out the AMI Technology Survey on the website if you do not have an electronic device at home.
Good afternoon. This is information that is going out to seniors. This is information for you to share with them in the event they will be contacting you.
Good Standing Defined
A senior in good standing has a passing grade in all classes necessary to complete graduation requirements, has completed any needed credit recovery courses, and has completed any needed concurrent credit courses. A senior in good standing must have 23 credits when the third nine weeks grades are used as a semester grade and credit is awarded.
Determination of Good Standing
Each senior will be personally contacted by their Guidance Counselor and informed if they have met the criteria for Good Standing. This conversation will be documented via email and sent with a read receipt.
Seniors Not in Good Standing & Options during this contact:
1. Students who failed a required course during the third nine weeks will be enrolled in APEX credit recovery. Credit recovery work must be complete by May 8th.
2. Students who passed the third nine weeks but are dissatisfied with their grade may choose to continue with AMI work for the fourth nine weeks in an attempt to raise their average. HOWEVER, if a student makes this choice, they must complete the fourth nine weeks or risk earning a failing grade. End date for students choosing this option will be May 8th.
Seniors Who Are Enrolled in AP Courses
Students in an AP course will be asked if they would like to continue to prepare for the exam with their AP teacher. If the student chooses to lock-in their third nine weeks grade, the AP test prep will not positively or negatively impact that grade. Students will receive weighted credit for AP courses regardless of taking AP exams. AP exams will be a modified version taken at home.
Concurrent Credit Classes
Since concurrent classes are for college credit, students will follow the UAPTC timeline for when a class is complete. Any remaining balance should be paid directly to UAPTC.
Hard Copies of Transcripts
Seniors who must have a hard copy of a transcript should email Mrs. Leger to put in a request. The transcript may be picked up the following day.
First option-We can mail the transcript to the student.
Second option-Pick up process.
The pickup process is as follows:
Upon arriving at the school, a student should call 771-8107, the transcript will be delivered to the student outside the building. Only the student whose name appears on the transcript or their designee may pick up the transcript. If a designee is sent, the student should include this person’s name in their email request. Anyone picking up a transcript MUST show an ID.
Final Transcripts
If the school remains closed, a google form will be sent out for seniors to complete indicating where their final transcripts should be sent.
All seniors will be excused from school beginning with April 20, 2020 if they have completed the requirements listed above.
Cap & Gown/Graduation Orders Pickup
Cap and gown and other items ordered for graduation can be picked up on Friday, April 3 in front of the arena. It will be a curbside pick-up system so there will be no need to leave your vehicle. Call Josten’s Customer Service at 1-800-567-8367 to pay your balance or to inquire about how much is still owed. You may also pay in cash at the time of pick-up.
Honor stoles and honor or completer cords will be distributed at a later date.
Student Debt
Student debt balances can be located and paid on MyPaymentsPlus. Instructions for accessing MyPaymentsPlus can be found here.
Items checked out through the Media Center can be verified here. Please remember that textbooks and novels for English class have not yet been checked-in.
Senior Activities

All classes will resume on December 2nd.
We look forward to seeing you at "Cupcakes and Conversations" tomorrow at 6p!
Dear Student, Parent, and/or Guardian of NLR Academy;
After careful consideration, North Little Rock High School has determined that classification of students based on the number of years they have been in high school is a practice that should not continue. The practice has caused confusion on the part of both the student and their family leading to misunderstandings regarding the graduation status of credit deficient students.
You are receiving this letter because you are either a student who is credit deficient based on current grade level or the parent/guardian on one.
Beginning in November 2019, students whose cumulative credit total is insufficient for the grade in which they are classified, will be re-classified to the appropriate grade level. For example, if a student is currently listed as a junior but has a cumulative credit total of less than 11, that student will be re-classified as a sophomore.
To be considered on-time for graduation, students must have earned the following number of credits by the end of the school year to move to the next grade classification:
Sophomore – 5.5 cumulative credits
Junior – 11 cumulative credits
Senior – 16.5 cumulative credits
After this initial correction in November 2019, grade classification will only change once a full school year has been completed.
Come and join us at the School Safety Symposium, scheduled for 11/12 at the NLRHS Performing Arts Center. You will hear from district leaders about our commitment to keep students and staff safe.
