LR schools check-in set for this week

— The Little Rock School District’s annual check-in period for new and returning students is set for 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday at each student’s assigned school.

Classes for the 2012-13 school year start Aug. 20 for most Little Rock School District students.

During the check-in period, parents and students will be provided with a variety of information about the coming school year.

Parents who have moved and changed their addresses should use the check-in period to update their new contact information by showing school officials a current utility bill.

While classes officially start Aug. 20 for most district students, sixth-graders assigned to Cloverdale Charter School and ninth-graders assigned to J.A. Fair and Hall high schools are starting Aug. 13 to participate in a program designed to assist them in acclimating to their new schools. Free breakfasts and school bus transportation will be provided for students in those transition programs.
