As we approach the first day of school, August 16th, all students and their parent/guardian need to complete the device agreement which can now be filled out online. Please visit bit.ly/NPSdevice2021 to compelte the agreeement, you must fill out one for each child in the district. 

As always, the top priority of Nettleton Public Schools is the health of its students, families, faculty and staff. Therefore, we believe that at this time, it is best to not host an "Open House" event at our campuses to start the 2021-22 school year.

However, students entering Pre-K and Kindergarten will be allowed to have (1) family member join them on the days listed below for a special "Welcome" to their new elementary school:

Pre-K

Girls - August 16, 8:30 a.m.

Boys - August 17, 8:30 a.m.

Kindergarten

Girls - August 18, 8:30 a.m.

Boys - August 19, 8:30 a.m.

Please know that we are monitoring the guidelines presented by DESE (Arkansas Department of Elementary and Secondary Education), ADH (Arkansas Department of Health), and the CDC (Centers of Disease Control and Prevention) and will continue to update and add to our COVID-19 resources and documents, found at https://nettletonschools.net/pandemic-resources.

The NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine at Arkansas State partnered with 8 NHS Juniors and Seniors for a 7 week camp, attending 3 days a week from 9 am to 12 pm.

Various physicians, scientists, medical students and healthcare workers presented in person and via zoom to share personally about their careers. Students learned these careers are very attainable and offered right here in NEA!

Students had experiences including: examining zebrafish embryos through a stereo microscope, mice dissections to identify anatomical structures, dressing in PPE (personal protective equipment), tours of the Delta Care-a-van, practicing suturing techniques, inserting IV catheters in an arm simulator, water quality testing, and even learning how to intubate a patient.

We are so proud of these students! Lila Aldaco, Noah Beeman, Keonna Harris, Darrell Holton, Alexandria Jones, Jaylin Lumpkin, Adriana Southard, and Brooklynn Tilley
