Nettleton Public Schools

🇺🇸 Happy Flag Day! 🇺🇸

Today, we celebrate the Stars and Stripes—our nation's enduring symbol of freedom, unity, and opportunity. On Flag Day, we honor the values represented by the American flag and remember those who have served and sacrificed to protect them.

As we reflect on the meaning of our flag, we are reminded of the importance of citizenship, respect, and community. These are values we strive to instill in our students every day as we work together to Raise Raiders and prepare future leaders.❤️🤍💙

☀️ Making an Impact All Year Long ☀️

Even though it’s summer break, Nettleton students continue to show what it means to serve others and make a difference in our community.

We are proud of Kamiya King and Kori Bland for volunteering their time to help with setup for the National Cancer Survivors Day event held last week. Their willingness to step up and give back is a true reflection of Raider spirit in action.

We love seeing our students staying involved, supporting meaningful events, and representing our schools in such a positive way beyond the classroom.

Thank you, Kamiya and Kori, for your service and commitment to others!

📚✨ Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow! ✨📚

Several Nettleton Public Schools staff members spent today attending the 2026 Arkansas School Behavior Conference in Benton, Arkansas. This valuable professional learning opportunity brought together educators from across the state to explore effective strategies for supporting positive student behavior, strengthening school culture, and creating successful learning environments for all students.

We are proud to have representatives from UHE, UHSMA, FME, FMSCM, STEAMI, and district-level leadership participating in this important conference. Their commitment to continuous learning and growth helps ensure that we are providing the best possible support for our students and families.

Thank you to our dedicated staff for investing in new ideas, building connections, and bringing back valuable resources to help us continue Raising Raiders!

Memorial Day is a time to reflect on the courage, dedication, and selflessness of those who gave their lives for our freedom. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.

🌟 Staff Spotlight 🌟

This Staff Spotlight shines the light on Leroy Douglas, our First Community Bank Bus Driver of the Month! 🚌💛🖤

Leroy has been driving a bus for Nettleton for the past 11 years and has made a lasting impact on our Raider family. When asked what he loves most about his job, Leroy shared, “The supervisors, other drivers, and bus aids working together which makes me feel like one of the family.”

When asked what means to him, Leroy said, “Raider Pride makes me feel like we are contributing to the future of our community. I’m proud to be a small part of the progress that is being made.”

Thank you, Leroy, for your dedication, positivity, and commitment to serving our students and community each day!
