No April Fools Jokes today! Please know that we understand the difficulty that the current situation has created, and know that we are going to keep working diligently to help all of our learners and families during this time.
Extended School Closure NOW THROUGH APRIL 30th:
In alignment with the Federal guidelines extending social distancing and other measures to slow the spread of COVID-19, Governor Sisolak signed additional measures this morning extending the school closures through April 30th. With that being said, the district will regroup a bit on Monday, April 6th to do some further planning for the remainder of the closure. We want to ensure that all learners are getting access to materials and learning opportunities AND that everyone’s emotional health is supported!
CRITICAL NOTE: All students ABSOLUTELY need to continue to do the work that is coming out from teachers, PreK through 12th-grade. The time spent learning from a distance is still counting as school days and expectations still exist that people are doing their best work and trying to meet the standards and expectations of each course and grade level. Teachers will continue to reach out to all students via phone calls or emails to answer questions, provide instruction, and help in any way they can. We continue to work on what is needed for seniors to graduate, so keep working seniors!
Additional Information from the District
Technology Update
If you still need help securing internet for your child to continue Learning From a Distance, please contact Nate Waite: [email protected]. He will call back (it may be from a number you don’t recognize, so we ask that you answer if you can).
The district is continuing to work on solutions for getting Chromebooks out to students and working on a solution for fixing existing Chromebook issues. This will be shared out on Monday, April 6th.
Food Services Update
