This also affects our phones systems. At this time, schools cannot receive calls or call out using the school phones.
Teaching and learning is still happening. There are no emergencies.
We just wanted you to know why no one is answering any phones.
Tonight's Board of Trustees meeting begins at 5:30.

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.

Thank you to the Daughters of the American Revolution, the Pahrump Valley United Methodist Church, and the Desert Greens for fulfilling our teachers' wish lists! They've also donated the funds for Judy's Reading Jungle, our take-a-book-leave a-book reading tent, as well as food, clothing, and items for the home economics room we are creating. I cannot thank them enough for choosing to help make the experience of Amargosa's students that much better!
It's Back-to-School Season!
Good morning! If you'd like to get food for your children, ages 2-18, you can come to the school cafeteria Monday-Thursday, from 11:30am-12pm. Please note, that due to work that is happening on our parking lot, you will have to enter through the side gate which faces the community center. Please do not park in a place that will block our school bus as we have summer school in session. Thank you!

¡Buen día! Si desea obtener comida para sus hijos, de 2 a 18 años, puede venir a la cafetería de la escuela de lunes a jueves, de 11:30 am a 12:00 pm. Tenga en cuenta que, debido al trabajo que se está realizando en nuestro estacionamiento, tendrá que ingresar por la puerta lateral que da al centro comunitario. No se estacione en un lugar que bloquee nuestro autobús escolar ya que tenemos clases de verano en sesión. ¡Gracias!
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.
The Nye County Sheriffs Office received information regarding an unsubstantiated threat across multiple Nevada school districts today. Due to this, all schools are implementing "Stay-Put" procedures, limiting movement around and within campus. If students are required to be outside for transitioning between classes, they will be accompanied by an employee.
Sheriff McGill also has deputies driving by, visiting, and monitoring campuses for safety through dismissal time.
Schools will follow normal dismissal times and procedures.
