With the first day of school just around the corner, the Little Rock School District is making it easier than ever for families to get ready for a successful school year. The District has unveiled its 2025 Back-to-School Essentials Guide, a comprehensive, user-friendly online resource designed to support students and parents every step of the way.

From registration and transportation to health services and school supply lists, the guide offers centralized access to key information needed for a smooth transition into the new academic year. Parents can also find details about bell schedules, the updated electronic device policy (which includes the use of Yondr pouches in secondary schools), and how to navigate Rooms—LRSD’s online platform for classroom communication.

To access the full guide, families can visit www.LRSD.org/back-to-school-2025 or scan the QR code. The District also encourages families to download the LRSD app and follow along via the district calendar to stay up to date on events and announcements.

WELCOME BACK TO SCHOOL, LRSD!
