Student Arrival and Breakfast
The school cafeteria will open at 7:45 AM for breakfast.
School Zones
Students are returning to school everywhere across the United States, and since school zones, crosswalks, and school buses are most frequently used during the school months, it is important drivers remember the laws involving them. Keeping students safe should be everyone’s priority.
Schools and Speed Limits
Areas surrounding schools often experience heavy amounts of traffic around school start and end times. With so many children walking home or running to vehicles, it is important to drive at a slower speed. Pay special attention to the following areas:
- School Zones: Often marked by flashing lights on a speed limit sign, you should slow down. Most areas require driving no faster than 20 miles per hour, but there are areas that require you drive under 15 miles per hour.
- Neighborhoods: Remember that a speed limit is the fastest you should be going, not the required speed. In neighborhoods and other areas outside of the marked school zone, go slow and watch out for kids. It only takes a small distraction for the child to not pay attention and step into traffic.
School bus drivers are tasked with getting children to and from school safely. They stop at designated areas to pick up and drop off students. When a school bus stops, they pull on a lever that opens the door and starts signals on the front and back of the bus. A stop sign also extends out by the driver. These signal to other drivers that they need to stop. This helps keep students safe who may be running to catch the bus in the morning or crossing the street to get home in the afternoon.
Safety and Enforcement
Keeping students safe is a community responsibility. While you may be in a hurry to get to school, take your own kids to school, or get to work, it is important to slow down and pay attention to the laws. Since the consequences for breaking these laws can lead to serious injury and death, they have stiffer penalties. Plan to leave a little early and drive at a slower speed. Being a little late is better than causing serious injury or death to someone else, getting in a crash, or having to pay an expensive ticket.
Student lockers will not be used in the hallways for the 21-22 school year!

Students entering 7th Grade
Under Nevada law, all students who are entering the seventh grade, and all students who are in grades eight through high school and are new to a Nevada public school, will be required to have the 1-MCV4 (Meningococcal) immunization AND the neisseria meningitidis (meningitis) vaccines. This is the most recent addition to the required immunizations in order to be enrolled in a public school. Students entering grade seven are already required to have a Tdap vaccination. Provide the health office with a record of your child’s immunizations.
Students will not be permitted to attend classes without the proper proof of immunizations.
Please contact the school Health Office at 799-8080 ext. 4022 should you have any questions, concerns, or if you are unsure if your child has met the requirement.
