Highlights/Events


We put together, with the help of supporting departments, a handy flyer for you to share with your parents of commonly asked questions on the first day.  Hope it helps.  It's on the website in the virtual backpack and shared on social media.  


Don't Forget to Encourage Dads to Participate
We have some really cool prizes this year!

Poore's Excellent Adventures
In preparation for the start of school, Supt. Mike Poore had a marathon visit to 12 sites/departments in 1 day!  He started out with LRSD's transportation site at 7 a.m. before wrapping up with United Way at 5 p.m., Thursday, August 8th.  We'll share more great pictures later .  You can also see pics/videos on our virtual wall - walls.io/lrsd2019

Here's a clip of what the wall looks like - it's a curated collection of a lot of the great stuff happening at LRSD as shared by YOU!

AAIMS Boot Camp  Participants




LRSD had 35 students attend the 2019 Annual AAIMS Summer Boot Camp. The boot camp was held on UA Little Rock's Campus. Students were exposed to engaging labs, rigorous curriculum, and gained first hand knowledge of how an AP class is structured in order to prepare themselves for this upcoming school year!
