North Little Rock School District

Can you believe it? The 2023-2024 school year is officially over! We thank all of our staff, students, and families for their support in making this year a great one. We wish everyone an amazing summer, filled with rest and relaxation.

It's Graduation Day! This evening, the Class of 2024 will become ALUMNI. They'll be joining a proud group of former students who live and breathe NLR! So NLRHS, Northeast, Ole Main, and S.A. Jones alumni -- welcome the Class of '24 to this group by shouting out your grad year!

The North Little Rock School District will observe Memorial Day on Monday, May 27, 2024. All schools and Central Office sites will be closed. We thank the valiant men and women who gave their all to protect our freedom.

If your student has medication at school, please pick it up before or on the last day of school (May 30). The school shall not keep outdated medications or any medications past the end of the school year. If your student will be attending summer school, please speak with your school's building nurse to make arrangements. ALL medications not picked up by dismissal on the last day of school will be destroyed or discarded, per district procedures.

This month's recipient of the Great Rising Adult-Youth Mentor Award is Reynardo Marks of the NLR Chamber of Commerce. While he went to the 7th & 8th Grade Campus for his job to speak with students, he has developed an interest in mentoring the students at the school.

Carlton Burton and Ebony Thomas, custodians at Seventh Street Elementary, received the Superintendent's Honor Roll for taking on additional roles as a result of their colleague's extended medical leave. Their dedication does not go unnoticed.

The Board of Education recognized Jonah Pulliam, a junior at NLRHS, for getting a perfect score on the ACT! Jonah is featured in a video where he discusses how he prepared for the exam and how the NLRSD has positioned him for success at this link: https://vimeo.com/945952474
