The ELL Department at Nettleton School District is committed to supporting English Language Learners (ELL). The department provides specialized educational services and resources to ensure that ELL students receive the necessary support to succeed academically and socially.

It is the Arkansas Department of Education’s overall vision to serve and support our English Language Learners so that they are able to reach fluent English proficiency in speaking, listening, reading and writing. It is also the goal that with these areas of proficiency, EL students will gain the skills needed to be college and career ready.

The Arkansas Migrant Education Program is a federally funded program that provides services to the children of families who move seeking temporary or seasonal work in Arkansas’s agricultural and fishing industries. The program is designed to help children ages three through twenty one, who are uniquely affected by the combined effects of poverty, language, cultural barriers, and difficulties pertaining to the migratory lifestyle. The primary goal of the Migrant Program is to help our students meet the same challenging academic content and student academic achievement standards that are expected of all children.
