We are happy to announce an 8th grade End of Year Ceremony. We are especially proud of our 8th grade students and their commitment to their academics during these unprecedented times. This special event is both a privilege and an opportunity to honor our students for their time at North Little Rock Middle School. This ceremony does not guarantee that your student has met the requirements to be promoted to the Ninth Grade. Students who participate in this ceremony may still be required to attend summer school if they do not have a passing grade in all core classes. Participation in the ceremony is optional. Please be mindful that this is an Early Release Day for NLRSD and all schools will be dismissed at their designated time. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eBPuCbD7IXLXauj8vIqXE9cTb-2SSlhB/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=103465145993956734483&rtpof=true&sd=true
