Important Update: LRSD is assessing building/road conditions today and will determine status of opening the District/schools tomorrow no later than 5 PM today. We will notify you via call, text, social media, website, App & news media partners. Thanks & stay safe.
Good morning, LRSD families,
Out of an abundance of caution and after consultation with surrounding districts, LRSD’s Safety and Security team, First Student Transportation, and the National Weather Service, LRSD will close schools and offices on Thursday and Friday, January 9-10, 2025, due to anticipated inclement weather. Forecasters predict significant freezing/snow conditions moving into our area starting tomorrow. All athletic events are also canceled. In making weather-related decisions, LRSD prioritizes the safety of students and staff.
LRSD staff, please monitor your emails for additional instructions from our Human Resources Department.
As a reminder, LRSD will keep staff and families updated through our App, social media platforms, website, LRSD TV, and our traditional media partners. Stakeholders are encouraged to download the free LRSD App so they never miss a message from the district.
Thank you, and stay safe!
Last week, Superintendent Dr. Jermall Wright held engaging discussions with students at Hall-West, Little Rock Southwest, and Parkview and Central High Schools about cell phone usage in schools. Students shared valuable insights on how cell phones impact their academics and activities. These conversations are helping shape the district’s approach to creating a positive learning environment.
