The first day of school is quickly approaching, and it is time to review and update your student's information in the Registration Gateway! Please note this task is only for families returning from last year, and will require only a few minutes to complete!

In order to access your Registration Gateway account, please go to www.nettletonschools.net/register-home, and follow the link to "Returning Student Registration". 

Your student's ID number will serve as the login (found on your student's report card or in your HAC account). The password is your student's birthdate (MM/DD/YYYY).

Please remember that this information must be reviewed and updated for every student in the household in order for the Back to School registration process to be considered complete. Failure to do so may result in the delay of class and/or classroom assignments for your student(s).

If your student(s) attend Nettleton High School there is one additional step to the Back to School registration process that must be finished in order to be considered 'complete'. Please make sure to complete the Free and Reduced Meal Application Form, noting that (1) you do not qualify, (2) providing the information needed to be considered, and (3) adding your signature. 

If you have any questions about the process, please feel free to reach out to Shelly Dean, District Registrar, at shelly.dean@nettletonschools.net.

Dear Nettleton Family,

Governor Hutchinson recently announced that he was lifting the statewide mask mandate. However, the Arkansas Department of Heath and Arkansas Department of Education strongly advises districts to continue to follow all measures that have allowed successful in-person learning to occur. Therefore, Nettleton administrators, parents, and the Ready For Learning committee, made the decision to recommend to the Nettleton School Board to continue our on-campus mask policy until the end of the last day of school. The board unanimously approved the recommendation on April 5, 2021.

In addition, the CDC has updated guidance and they now recommend that, with masking, students can maintain a distance of at least 3 feet in classroom settings. In some common areas where masks cannot be worn, such as eating, sports or band practice, and community settings they still recommend social distancing of 6 feet between students and adults.

Nettleton Public School is still responsible for responding to confirmed cases within the district. However under the updated guidance, there are factors that have changed our prior rules for quarantine. First, our continued mask mandate that promotes proper mask wearing may exempt individuals from being identified as close contacts if both the confirmed and exposed individuals are properly masked. Second, a fully vaccinated individual may not need to stay at home following close contact exposure to a test-confirmed individual if certain conditions are met. Third, individuals who previously have had COVID-19 and recovered and are within 3 months of their original diagnosis may not have to quarantine.

Thanks to all of you for your continued support and understanding. We believe that with your help, our on-campus mask mandate, social distancing, reduced class sizes, washing hands, cleaning and disinfecting have allowed successful in-person learning to occur at Nettleton.

Raider Pride,

Dr. Karen Curtner
