North Little Rock School District

Making Up Missed School Days
In order to make up for the missed days, the district is considering a plan to temporarily suspend Early Release Wednesdays for the second semester, requiring students to be at school the entire day.
By doing this, the district would make up four of the five days out for snow. With this proposal, the school year will end on May 31, 2024. However, if we experience more inclement weather, then we COULD have to extend the school year.
Families will receive a survey via text message and email regarding this proposal. This survey will be sent to the contact information that families provided at the time of registration. The survey will close on Tuesday, January 30, 2024, at NOON.
Hosting the Class 6A State Basketball Tournament
Charging Wildcat Arena will be the home of the 2024 Class 6A State Basketball Tournament!
The State Basketball Tournament will take place February 27 through March 2. Hosting this tournament is an exciting time for our school, the district, and the community.
If you would like to participate in some way, including donations, please contact Mr. Wes Bilon, the Director of Student-Athlete Development and Academic Engagement, by email at bilonw@nlrsd.org or by phone at (501) 771-8153.
The last time we hosted the State Tournament was in 2018. Both of our boys and girls teams went on to win state titles that year. Go, Cats!
Students Earn Scholarships
Congratulations to three of our high school students for earning scholarships from the THEA Foundation!
- Jared Holt is receiving a $7,000 scholarship in the Visual Arts category.
- Adam Dandridge is receiving a $3,000 scholarship in the Visual Arts category.
- Corbin Pitts is receiving a $10,000 scholarship in the Film category.
The annual competitions are for Arkansas graduating high school seniors and remain a key
resource for helping young people across the state receive financial help for higher education.
Each of the five arts-based competitions provide Arkansas seniors with an opportunity to secure funding for college based on their talent alone. Inspired by the theme “Individual, and beautiful,” 332 students from across Arkansas applied for a chance at part of the $219,000 worth of
scholarships.
Congratulations, Jared, Adam, and Corbin!
