During this school year, the Board of Directors and the entire LRSD staff will continue to work to fulfill our mission. Some of the exciting things happening this year include increasing student academic achievement, selecting a new superintendent, beginning the implementation of the next five-year strategic plan and opening new and renovated facilities. We want to partner with the parents and families of our students to provide excellent educational opportunities for all of our students. Please take an active role in the education of your student by communicating regularly with teachers and principals by phone or in person, attending school functions, encouraging your child and providing a time and place to study at home. Let us be the "Little Rock Village" that raises all of our children to be the best they can be.

Many teachers use the summer months to further their own education by taking graduate courses while others participate in other professional development opportunities, update lesson plans or find time for some relaxation. During the 2003-04 school year, teachers, principals and other staff members will continue their important work: educating students to the best of their abilities. Academic preparation of all students is our top priority. Schools will continue to implement the individual School Improvement Plans that are designed to address the specific needs of students in each of our schools. Administrators and district support staff make use of the summer months to prepare for the coming school year. Our construction program continues at a rapid pace. The Hall High expansion and renovation project is almost complete. Major projects are currently under way at Central, J. A. Fair and McClellan high schools
Dunbar, Mabelvale and Pulaski Heights middle schools
and Williams and Pulaski Heights elementary schools. We expect the rebuilding of Wakefield Elementary to be complete by the beginning of the 2004-05 school year, and the new building at Mann Middle School should be ready for students and staff by January 2004. With the continuing support of parents and the community, this district can, and will, meet the needs of the students of Little Rock-they deserve no less. Donald M. Stewart, Ed.D. Interim Superintendent Registration & School Selection We invite you to enroll your child in the LRSD at our Student Registration Office at 501 Sherman Street (at the intersection of E. Capitol and Sherman streets, near 1-30) or at your neighborhood school. To register, parents must provide proof of address such as a current utility bill, tax statement or lease agreement. A student enrolling in the LRSD for the first time must present a birth certificate, immunization record and Social Security number. Arkansas state law requires that children must be five years old by September 15, 2003, to be eligible to attend kindergarten in the 2003-04 school year. Students new to the district and students who have changed addresses during the summer should contact the Student Registration Office at 447-2950. Registration will be held January 26- February 6, 2004, for school assignments for the 2004-05 school year. Parent recruiters, whose goal is to assist parents in exploring school choice options, are based in the Student Registration Office. Call Essie Middleton at 447-2957 or Becky Rather at 447-2958. School Choice Neighborhood Schools Most students choose to attend their neighborhood school if space is available. To find out which is your neighborhood school, please contact the Student Registration Office. Magnet Schools/Programs Students may register for a "themed" magnet school. In Little Rock, the magnet school requests are filled by a random lottery selection if the demand exceeds available seats. See the list of LRSD schools on the back cover for magnet schools/programs. Since students may apply for these programs/schools from all three school districts in Pulaski County, they must apply through their "home" or resident district. For further information, call your "home" district: Little Rock (447-2950), North Little Rock (771-8000) or Pulaski County (490-2000). lnterdistrict Elementary Schools Students whose race is in the majority in their home district may transfer to another district and school where their race is in the minority (Majority-to-Minority, or M-to-M, transfers). African-American students from the LRSD may transfer to schools in the Pulaski County Special School District (PCSSD), and white students from the PCSSD may transfer to schools in the LRSD. The PCSSD interdistrict elementary schools are: Baker (Economics), William Jefferson Clinton Magnet (Technology & Speech) and Crystal Hill Magnet (Written, Oral & Visual Communications). The LRSD interdistrict elementary schools are: Martin Luther King, Jr. High-Intensity Learning lnterdistrict Magnet, Romine Computer Science & Basic Skills lnterdistrict and Washington Basic Skills/Math-Science lnterdistrict. Attendance Attendance Requirements State law requires school attendance for children age five through 17 whose birthdays fall on or before September 15 of each school year. State law also provides that excessive absences may be used as a basis for denial of course credit, promotion or graduation. Parents and students should be aware of a City of Little Rock curfew that requires a child to be in school during his or her school's normal hours of operation. Any student caught As parent or legal .r1uardia11, it is JJour responsihilitJJ to make sure that JJOur child attends school each da.zJ. "Snow Days" breaking this curfew may be subject to police charges. Excused Absences The parent or guardian is to notify the school attendance office by noon on the day when a student must be absent. Failure to do so will result in an unexcused absence, and the student will not be allowed to make up missed work. See the Student Handbook and check with your child's school for attendance/absence policies. Decisions on closing school due to severe weather or other conditions may be made the evening prior to the school day or very early the next morning. Conditions can change drastically before students actually begin traveling to school or during the day while students are at school. The decision on the safety of travel conditions for students rests entirely with their parents. Students who live outside of Little Rock: please take note of the announcement at the bottom of the next page concerning school bus transportation. School closings and delays will be announced on the following outlets: www.LRSD.org local television stations Planning for an Emergency LRSD-TV, Comcast Cable Channel 4 local radio stations Where should your child go if school is suddenly and unexpectedly closed? Rapidly changing weather or acute health problems could result in a sudden need for a student's dismissal. Talk to your child about an emergency plan today and notify the school, in writing, of both the place to which your child should go if you are not at home and the name of another adult who can be contacted in case of an emergency. Transportation & School Schedules School bus transportation is provided for secondary students who live more than two miles from their assigned schools and for elementary students who live more than one mile from their assigned schools. No transportation is provided for Special Circumstance Transfers, Staff Preference Transfers, four-year-old students or voluntary transfers. All requests for transportation should be made at the child's school. If your child's school bus does not arrive on time, call Laidlaw Transportation at 447-4130 for assistance. (If you experience persistent difficulties, contact Theresa Kirklin at 447-4142.) Parents of Special Needs students should call 447-7550 for assistance. Students who live in Pulaski County and are authorized for transportation to LRSD schools should call 490-5760 or 982-9416 with bus concerns. To help create a safe and pleasant bus ride, students and parents should familiarize themselves with and follow the bus guidelines listed in the Student Handbook.

Your transportation is provided by your home school district, so you must secure your own transportation to school on these days. Curriculum & Graduation Diploma Honors Seal Many students wish to pursue a more challenging academic program in high school in preparation for higher education. A student may earn an Honors Seal on his or her diploma by completing 28 units, taking at least eight Pre-Advanced Placement and/ or Advanced Placement courses (or University Studies courses at Hall High) and earning a grade-point average of at least 3.5. The 28 units include all of the required units listed in the box below plus one additional unit each in math, science and social studies as well as two units in one foreign language. This curriculum reflects the admission requirements of the most competitive universities in the country. LRSO graduation requirements have been strengthened to better prepare students for college and employment opportunities. Seniors in the class of 2004 and after must pass the required classes listed to receive their diplomas. The LRSD's comprehensive curriculum reflects content and skills that are introduced at the elementary level and are built upon as students advance toward mastering subject and grade-level benchmarks. Students are encouraged to take the courses specified in the recommended curriculum (28 units). These courses meet the admission requirements of competdive universities and are good preparation for taking college admission examinations (ACT or SAT tests). The curriculum meets and exceeds the minimum state requirements. More than 400 courses are offered at the high school level.

Selected LRSD schools ofter one or more of the following early childhood education programs: Parent Involvement Classroom Visitation We invite and encourage you to visit your child's class during the school day. Please remember that you are an observer, not a participant, unless other arrangements have been made in advance with the teacher.

Parent-Teacher Conferences Parent-teacher conference dates are listed in this calendar. These meetings provide a wonderful opportunity for parents to discuss their child's progress with his or her teacher. Teachers consider these conferences with parents to be extremely beneficial in helping to maintain and strengthen the important connection between home and school. For more information, call the Student Registration Office at 447-2950. Rockefeller Early Childhood Magnet School offers a preschool program that provides educational experiences and child care for children aged six weeks to three years. There is a monthly charge for this program. See the Directory of Schools on the back cover for contact information. "My name is .... " Counselor Wanda Varady works with pre-k students at Mitchell Elementary on their very first day of school. The CARE Program is a nonprofit, self-supporting program of child care provided for elementary age students. The program operates before and after school and all day on most school holidays. The CARE Program provides a structured program of creative activities and recreation in a nurturing environment. A CARE Program is located in every LRSD elementary school where there are at least 15 participants in grades k-5 and at selected schools for four-year-olds. Call the CARE Program office at 447-7400 for more information. Volunteer Activities Parent-Teacher Associations (PTAs) at individual schools are your first opportunity for involvement. The PTA Council, the district's organization of PTA presidents and committee chairmen, supports the efforts of the schools and the district. The PTA provides a means for communication and volunteer support for public schools in the LRSD. Ginny Kurrus, 224-4154, is PTA Council President for the 2003-2004 school year. The Volunteers in Public Schools (ViPS) program involves parents and other citizens in the education of children. Volunteers serve in many capacities, such as tutors, mentors, speakers, school recruitment team members and classroom helpers. Partners in Education (PIE) brings businesses and schools together in support of education. All businesses, large and small, are invited to participate in this program. Business partners recruit employees as volunteers, make in-kind donations and/or contribute funds to help meet the school's needs. There are many ways to get involved at the school or district level, and you are encouraged to do so. If you are interested in volunteering, please call 447-2965 to find out how you can play a role in the success of our students. The Title I Parent Involvement Program promotes parent participation in schools served by federal Title I and VI funds. Parents become partners in the learning process by attending workshops and receiving additional educational training and encouragement to work individually with their children. A lending library of materials for parents is located in the Parent Involvement Office. Call 447-2065 for more information. Testing & Evaluation The LRSD has a comprehensive assessment system that measures academic achievement and growth for all students. These tests fall into two categories: norm-referenced and criterionreferenced. Norm-referenced tests are designed to measure the academic achievement of students in Arkansas compared to students across the country who have taken the same test at the same time and at the same grade level. Criterion-referenced tests measure how well our students are learning the state standards and benchmarks. Assessments are scheduled as outlined in the box at right
please note that the state test dates are subject to change by the Arkansas Department of Education. The Arkansas Department of Education's current assessment program - Arkansas Comprehensive Testing, Assessment and Accountability Program (ACTMP)-includes a normreferenced test (Stanford-9) and criterion-referenced tests (Benchmark, End-of-Course and Alternate Portfolio Assessment). Exceptions are made for students with disabilities whose Individual Education Plan specifies that participation in standardized testing is inappropriate and for some students identified as limited-English proficient. These students will participate in the Alternate Portfolio Assessment. The LRSD voluntarily participates in the Arkansas Educational Planning and Assessment System (EPAS). EXPLORE and PLAN, two assessments in the EPAS, are administered at grades 8 and 10, respectively. These assessments are designed to provide information to aid students in educational, personal and career development. PLAN is considered to be a predictor of how well students will perform on the ACT. Several examinations are offered for those students who are interested in attending a college or university. The exams required for admission vary from one institution to another. Students should consult with their high school counselor about which of these tests to take. Deadlines for registration and test dates for some of these exams are included in this calendar. Although these tests are most commonly known by their initials, the actual names of the examinations are: ACT AP PSAT/NMSQT SAT I SAT II American College Testing Program Advanced Placement Examination Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test Scholastic Aptitude Test SAT Achievement Test Assessment Grades When Administered Developmental Reading Assessment K-2 September 2003 & April 2004 Norm-Referenced: Stanford-9 Achievement Test 2 March 1 - 12, 2004 Stanford-9 Achievement Test 5, 7 & 10 April 12 - 23, 2004 Criterion-Referenced: Mid-Year End-of-Course Algebra When Completed January 27, 2004 Mid-Year End-of-Course Geometry When Completed January 29, 2004 Primary Benchmark 4 March 30 - April 1, 2004 Intermediate Benchmark 6 March 30 - April 1, 2004 Middle Level Benchmark 8 March 30 - April 1 , 2004 Benchmark Exam Field Testing 3, 5 & 7 March 30 - April 1 , 2004 Alternate Portfolio Assessment due to PRE 4, 6, 8& 11 March 8 - 12, 2004 End-of-Course Literacy 11 March 31 - April 1 , 2004 End-of-Course Algebra When Completed April 27, 2004 End-of-Course Geometry When Completed April 29, 2004 For gifted/talented identification only. ** TAP schools (Rockefeller and Stephens) will be involved in SAT-9 testing at grades 1 and 3 at the same time. Certain control schools will test at grade 3 only. Forest Heights Middle School's Career Fair exposed students to many new and exaling career possibilities. The Destination Imagination team at Carver Magnet Elementary qualified for the 2003 Global Competition in Knoxville, Tennessee. Health, Safety & Nutrition Student Health Every school provides a school nurse who is available either full- or part-time. The nurse conducts routine assessments or physical examinations, screening programs and health counseling. Health Education, including sessions on Growth and Development, is provided. Parents are encouraged to inform the school nurse of all concerns regarding their child's health. Arkansas law requires that all students with special health care needs, including chronically ill, medically fragile and technology-dependent students, must have an Individual Health Care Plan with input from parents and physicians. Forms are available from your school nurse or registrar. Students who have a chronic condition such as asthma, diabetes or seizures must have an Emergency Action Plan written by the child's physician or nurse practitioner. For more information, please call Health Services at 447-7482. Required Immunizations You must show proof of immunization every time your child enrolls in a new school. Immunization records are to be presented at the school. Safe, Secure Schools Arkansas law states that a child who does not have the vaccines required for his or her age cannot be admitted to school. Safety is extremely important to us. That's why all LRSD schools follow security and safety rules. All students receive instruction and testing on the Student Handbook, which describes acceptable behavior and the consequences of unacceptable behavior. It is essential that students and their families are familiar with this book. Parents and students should be aware of the federal law requiring a recommendation for expulsion of at least 12 months for any student who brings a weapon to school. If you have questions, call the Office of Safety and Security at 447-2075. Is Your Child Insured?- The LRSD has no liability for children's accidental injuries on campus, so it is important that parents consider the low-cost Student Accident Insurance provided through an independent agency. Both school-time and 24-hour coverages are available. Insurance brochures/ applications, available at all schools, explain the coverage in detail. Additionally, the LRSD provides free student athletic insurance for all students participating in interscholastic sports sanctioned by the Arkansas Activities Association. The LRSD Office of Safety and Security ( 44 7-2075) will be pleased to provide more information. What's Cooking? Our professional Child Nutrition staff takes pride in serving breakfast and lunch to thousands of students every day. Child Nutrition also provides nutrition education as a curriculum enhancement for elementary students and snacks for children in the CARE Program. See the price list below for meal costs
menus are posted online at www.LRSD.org. Meal Prices Elementary Secondary Adult Breakfast $0.75 $0.75 $1.00 Lunch $1.50 $1.75 $2.25 Applying for Free or Reduced-price Meals To make sure all eligible children receive a free or reduced-price breakfast and lunch during the 2003-04 school year, you are encouraged to fill out an application for your child ( applications are available at all schools). Students who qualified last year in the LRSD for free and reduced-price meals may continue on that status until September 5, 2003. If you need assistance, please call your child's school. NO STUDENT will receive a free or reduced-pn'ce meal unless a 2003-04 lunch application is on file. Volunteerism is ah've and well in the LRSO! Parents, students and community members pitch in during Sharefest to help out w,lh projects in many distrid schools, such as painting "No Parking" zones at Wilson Elementary.
