Beginning with the 2026–27 school year, the Alaska School Activities Association (ASAA) will transition to a new School Activities Reporting System (SARS) platform powered by Arbiter Registration.
Since 2018, ASAA schools have used the BigTeams (Planet High School) platform for student activity and sports registration. Last year, BigTeams was acquired by Arbiter. ASAA had already been evaluating Arbiter Registration prior to the acquisition and, after a review process, has signed an agreement to move forward with the Arbiter platform for SARS.
We are excited about the improvements and long-term support Arbiter Registration will provide to schools, students, and families. However, there will be one important change during this transition:
Parents and students will need to create a new Arbiter Registration account, as existing BigTeams account information cannot be transferred. Families should create one shared Family account rather than separate accounts for each user.
To register, families should visit your school’s athletics/activities webpage and click on the Arbiter Registration link www.nenanalynx.org or go directly to the ASAA SARS registration portal at https://arbiter.io/products/student-registration-software/.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Athletic Director Justin Murrell at jmurrell@nenanalynx.org
PreK-8th Supply list for NCS 2026-27 school year to begin August 19!
Greetings Lynx Families,
It has been awhile since I've last sent a Lynx Letter, which is lame because staff and students have been doing some amazing things since I last wrote to you. However, we are at the close of the year and there are a few things I'd like to notify you of before we close out the 2025-26 school year.
Tomorrow, Thursday May 14th, Nenana City School will be hosting Kindergarten Graduation at 6pm in the Gym. Friday, May 15th we will host the annual Clean Up Day and Sun Fun Run. Students and staff will be picking up trash starting shortly after 8:45am and continue through 10am. We intend to start our annual 5k Sun Fun Run at 10am. Our annual community lunch will start at 12pm. Hot dogs and sides will be served on the North (Elementary) side of the building. We will be hosting a few community health partners on campus during this BBQ. Topics will include things like substance misuse. We will have games and events before and after the BBQ for students. Many families excuse students at the BBQ. If you'd like to take your student home early, please simply notify me or Jaime at the front office. We will release all students early at 2pm.
Our awards ceremony will take place in the Gym on Friday evening at 5:30pm. Many students will be recognized during this event. Teachers have been notifying students whether they should attend because they are an award recipient, but all students and families are invited. The Nenana Native Association is hosting a celebration starting at 6pm.
Our graduation ceremony will begin at 1pm on Sunday. It will be held in the NCS Gym. The Living Center will be hosting a potluck after graduation at 5pm.
I will be pushing additional information out in an end-of-year letter home to parents. This will include information about the beginning of next year, including class lists.
Thank you.
