New invitations to register with our new communication platform, Rooms, will be starting again through email and text. More information on Rooms here: https://www.nye.k12.nv.us/article/1962672
PVHS, RCMS, and Round Mountain can now take absence excuses through Rooms. Log into the NCSD App, find the classroom for attendance, and send a message directly to the person in charge of attendance records. They can even reply directly to you if you have attendance questions.

Please take a minute to review this statement from Dr. Gent regarding investigations, confidentiality, and progressive discipline.

Parents and Guardians,
You are receiving invitations through email and text from Apptegy for a new communication service called Rooms.
Please accept the invitation even if your school is not yet using Rooms. Every school has a published classroom with a bit more information, so once you are set up, you can see what it looks like. PVHS, RCMS, Pathways, Beatty, Amargosa, Round Mountain, and Gabbs have all started to use Rooms with their teachers. We'll be expanding to more schools next year.
The service works through the NCSD App, and once you are signed up, you will automatically be connected to your school and students' teachers each year. It's a one-time registration.
Please view our information page if you have questions: https://www.nye.k12.nv.us/page/rooms-support

Important Update: School in Session on Thursday, January 9th
-- Repeat: Yes, we have school on Thursday, 1/9/25
----------
Dear Nye County School District Community,
Please note that Thursday, January 9th, IS a school day for all NCSD students.
While President Biden has declared a National Day of Mourning to honor former President Jimmy Carter, this declaration primarily affects federal employees.
Nevada public schools, including all those in Nye County, will remain in session.
We understand that this may cause confusion, and we appreciate your understanding.
Sincerely,
Dr. Joe Gent
Superintendent
---
Following federal law, President Joe Biden previously declared Jan. 9, 2025, as a National Day of Mourning. As part of his executive order, Biden declared that "all executive departments and agencies of the Federal Government shall be closed on January 9, 2025, as a mark of respect for James Earl Carter, Jr.” Only for federal employees,

LAST CHANCE to submit feedback. The form closes this Thursday at noon.

Weather Related School Closure Update
All Nye County Schools in Pahrump, Amargosa, Beatty, Tonopah, and Gabbs will reopen tomorrow as planned.
Please be cautious when walking to bus stops and schools.
Round Mountain Schools will remain closed due to road conditions. The reopening of Round Mountain Schools will be assessed daily, and notifications will be sent to the community members in the later afternoon.


Due to the Declaration of Local Emergency of the Nye County Board of Commissioners and the recommendation to shelter in place, the Nye County School District will be closing schools tomorrow, Monday, August 21, 2023. This decision was made out of extreme caution for the safety of all Nye County School District students and staff.
We are in communication with the Director of Emergency Management for Nye County, Chief Scott Lewis. We will continue to send updates if the situation changes through all school websites and Facebook: https://www.nye.k12.nv.us/live-feed.
Currently our plan is for schools to return to normal schedules on Tuesday, August 22, 2023. If this changes, we will send another emergency update through all channels: phone message, email, text, all websites, and Facebook pages.
Please stay home and be safe.
Documents regarding the weather and the emergency declaration can be seen here: https://www.nye.k12.nv.us/documents/announcements-%26-press-releases/2023-2024-announcements%2C-prs-%26-memos/2023-08-21---county-emergency-declaration/506111.


NCSO and NCSD are aware of the social media posts threatening violence at schools tomorrow, May 10, 2023. A thorough investigation was conducted and it was determined that the threatening post originated outside of Nevada and was directed at a school in Clark County. NCSO has determined there is no credible threat to any NCSD schools. Out of an abundance of caution, patrols will be increased so there is a more visible NCSO presence around our schools.


NCSD is considering three new publishers for Reading and Language Arts curriculum (K-12). The materials for all three are on display for public input at the Pahrump district office and each school site through January 7, 2022.

Parents, Guardians, and Community Members,
We know you have been asked to fill out several surveys recently, but we would appreciate your attention to one more.
This survey is meant to provide the grants department with guidance and data while writing for 20/21 grants, which will be critical for our operations in what is likely to be a challenging budget year.
The survey contains 20 topics and asks you to rate each topic's importance to you and your satisfaction with district implementation. A blank response will be counted as not-applicable for you, so you are welcome to leave items blank.
Please click here to take the survey: https://bit.ly/NyeGrantSurvey2020
