Good evening , parents, guardians, and caregivers. You’ve asked us, “What can we do to help?" So without further ado, the NLRMS 7-8 staff is asking for our parents, guardians, and caregivers to review the NLRSD District Handbook Electronic Device Policy and consequences with their students who are attending the NLRMS 7-8 Campus. The NLRMS 7-8 Campus, teachers, and staff members work extremely hard every day to ensure your student(s) is safe and receiving the best education in North Little Rock. Students who carry a cell phone are doing so at their own risk. Student cell phones should be turned off and be put away during class time/instructional time and class changes. Please be sure to read over the consequences with your child(ren) so they are fully aware of what the expectation is on the NLRMS 7-8 Campus. https://issuu.com/northlittlerockschooldistrict/docs/2024-2025_parent-student_handbook Thank you all for your continued support. Sincerely, The NLRMS 7-8 Administrative Team, Teachers, and Staff Members Before school, students can be on their devices. During lunch, students can be on their devices.

There is an amazing addition to the FARM, which is located at the North Little Rock Middle School campus! School leaders, along with Baldwin & Shell, Pinnacle Structures, and various subcontractors, cut the ribbon to officially open the new storage building. The structure will be used to store animal feed and gardening tools. It will also serve as shelter for animals during inclement weather. This project is a culmination of a community effort. After thieves broke into a building adjacent to the FARM and stole equipment valued at $5,000, many parents and community members stepped in to help.

Parents and guardians, students must have a clear or mesh backpack when entering the NLRMS 7/8 Campus.  NLRSD policy states that students may use only clear or mesh book bags to transport books. The building administrator(s) reserve the right to make appropriate decisions about backpacks in the school building.  Today many students come to school with solid-colored backpacks which goes against our NLRSD backpack policy. Students who had solid backpacks were given a mesh backpack to use. The NLRMS 7/8 Principal, Ms. Hampton, is requiring parents and or guardians to pick up their students' solid-colored backpacks when their students don't adhere to the backpack policy. Student-athletes who participate in NLRMS 7/8 athletics (football, volleyball, basketball, cross country, tennis) will have to have their gym bag tagged and stored away in their locker throughout the day until 7th-period dismissal.
