Core teachers are making recommendations for initial placement for this coming school year as to whether each student should take regular or advanced core classes for this coming school year. All 8th-grade students will take a class period that rotates through 18 weeks of Career Development, 9 weeks of Art Appreciation, and 9 weeks of PE/Health. 8th-grade students will have room for up to two electives.Here is a list of 8th-grade elective classes (pending board approval). Scheduling Timeline & Schedule Verification Form Beginning the week of Feb 21, 2022, students will input their preferences for electives as well as alternates to their top elective choice(s). A schedule verification form will be sent home the week after spring break. This form will display all of the classes planned for each student including elective and core classes. If any parent wishes to make changes in their child’s planned classes, please email the counselors to adjust the scheduled classes in eSchool.

The North Little Rock School District has been made aware of Governor Asa Hutchinson’s mandate to end contact tracing. However, Governor Hutchinson has given school districts the ability to make health decisions in the best interest of students and staff. Over the coming days, administrators and nurses in the district will review data and will make recommendations. These recommendations will be presented to the North Little Rock Board of Education in the form of a resolution. For now, we will continue our current procedures regarding contact tracing and quarantines. The health and safety of our students and staff is our top priority.
