UPDATE ON SCHOOL OPENING
Message from Superintendent Young
Governor Sisolak has signed an order extending the Learn at Home model through the rest of the school year. The last day of instruction is now May 28. We hope school will resume IN-CLASS Aug 31,2020.
I know the uncertainty can be stressful. I want to again thank each of you for the really wonderful work you're doing. You're living a world class learning environment by coming together for the greater good. It's tough. But we can continue to support our community and each other as we do the best we can given the circumstances.
