In Little Rock Family's January issue, we've turned a special eye towards area schools and institutions for learning. 

In our annual Public Schools Guide, you'll find profiles of local schools and school districts to help you learn more about each. Research to find out about the school's special programs, courses, facilities, awards and achievements, and more. Click here to read the section in our digital edition -- we hope the extensive information will help you decide which school is right for your family!

Plus, in our newly-designed School Crossings pages, you'll find tons of cool news from local schools (both public and private), their students and teachers. We've featured everything from Forest Park Elementary School's 100th anniversary to the North Little Rock Wildcats win at Joe Johnson's Jammin' for Jackets Basketball Tournament. Check it out here to see if your child's school made it into our pages.

If you know of a school's fundraising accomplishments, unique classroom initiatives, teacher accolades or other awesome news, shoot an email to BTidwell@abpg.com. You might see your school's efforts recognized in the next installment of School Crossings, due at the end of the schoolyear.
