      I am excited about the significant changes that will impact learners this year, including
      the Community School model, which provides wrap-around services at four of our
      campuses, and we are exploring the addition of two more school sites; as well as
      implementation of the Ford NGL model through the Academies of Central Arkansas at
      our high schools, which will allow our students to align their passions with career and                                                                                            Leigh Ann Wilson                                                     Ali Noland                                       Vicki Hatter

      The academic success of our students is paramount, but we know that health and safety
      are also priorities for you, and for us as a District. As part of our ongoing commitment,
      our health team continues to work around the clock, and even on weekends, to help
      ensure that protocols are followed and information is shared. LRSD’s custodial team
      goes above- and-beyond the call of duty taking extra steps to clean and sanitize schools
      and buildings. Our Child Nutrition staff works tirelessly alongside many partners to
      ensure that our students, virtual or in-person, receive nutritious meals. Other classified
      team members conduct home visits and assist with technology training for parents and
      students and work late nights to provide tutoring services. These countless moments
      often go unseen, yet LRSD’s dedicated educational professionals remain the constant in
      the lives of the children we serve.

      My hope is that you will help us share our story this upcoming year. We need your help
      in pushing out the positive accomplishments of students and staff in conversations or via
      social media. Brag about your child, your teacher, your school, or a staff member. It will
                                                                                                                                                                                           Norma Johnson                                                      Greg Adams                                         Jeff Wood
      not only bring pride to those you recognize, but allow us to tell our own story.
