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.

We have been approved to have Virtual Learning Fridays! This will begin on 10/23.
In summary, attending school on Fridays is optional. Students enrolled in face-to-face instruction will have the option of completing assignments either in person or at home. Virtual students will complete assignments as normal. These assignments will be completed asynchronously, which means there will be no live instruction. No new material will be introduced. Attendance will still be taken.
