Amargosa Schools (Prek-8)

Reapertura de Escuela 28 de julio de 2020 Familias del Norte del Distrito Escolar del Condado de Nye, Con el clima siempre cambiante de COVID-19, hemos trabajado para desarrollar un horario que se adapte a las necesidades de los alumnos en persona y en línea en nuestras Escuelas del Norte para que puedan ser apoyados por su maestro asignado. Los estudiantes que asisten a las escuelas Amargosa, Beatty, Round Mountain y Tonopah tienen la opción de asistir en persona cuatro días a la semana o en línea, también cuatro días a la semana. El horario que ve a continuación se ha ajustado tanto para los alumnos en persona como en línea para que nuestros maestros puedan satisfacer mejor las necesidades de todos los estudiantes durante este tiempo sin precedentes. Si elige que su estudiante participe en el aprendizaje en línea, deberá completar el Contrato de Aprendizaje a Distancia. Puede acceder a este contrato en persona en la escuela asignada de su hijo o en el sitio web del Distrito Escolar del Condado de Nye en www.nye.k12.nv.us. Este formulario se entregará a la secretaria de su estudiante (en persona, por fax o correo electrónico) a más tardar el 6 de agosto. También se le enviará otra encuesta el miércoles 29 de julio solicitándole su preferencia por la educación de sus estudiantes durante el año escolar 2020-2021. Tómese el tiempo para completar esta encuesta, ya que ayudará a los administradores a determinar el tamaño de las clases y las medidas de distanciamiento social. También queremos informarle que los casilleros (lockers) no estarán disponibles para el uso de los estudiantes. Se le recomienda comprar a su estudiante (K-12º grado) una mochila con una funda para computadora portátil, ya que llevarán su Chromebook a la escuela todos los días. Si aún no hemos recibido el Chromebook de su hijo desde la primavera, no emitiremos otro hasta que lo recibamos. ** Se requerirá tiempo adicional para las tareas para los estudiantes en persona después del lanzamiento del día escolar para cumplir con las expectativas educativas ** Si tiene alguna pregunta sobre este cronograma, no dude en comunicarse con el administrador de su edificio. Gracias. Chuck Fannin, Subdirector, Escuelas Amargosa / Beatty

Reopening Letter to Parents July 28, 2020 Northern Families of Nye County School District, With the ever-changing climate of COVID-19, we have worked to develop a schedule that will suit the needs of both in-person and online learners in our Northern Schools so that they can be supported by their assigned teacher. Students who attend Amargosa Schools, Beatty Schools, Round Mountain Schools, and Tonopah Schools have the option of either attending in-person four days per week or attending online, also four days per week. The schedule you see below has been adjusted for both in-person and online learners so our teachers can best meet the needs of all students during this unprecedented time. If you choose to have your student participate in online learning, you will need to fill out the Distance Learning Contract. You can access this contract either in person at your child’s assigned school or on the Nye County School District website at www.nye.k12.nv.us. This form will be due to your student’s secretary (in-person, via fax, or e-mail) no later than August 6th. Another survey will also be sent to you on Wednesday, July 29th asking you for your preference for your students' education during the 2020-2021 school year. Please take the time to complete this survey as it will help administrators determine class sizes and social distancing measures. We also want to inform you that lockers will not be available for student use. You are advised to purchase your student (K-12th grade) a backpack with a laptop sleeve in it as they will bring their Chromebook to and from school daily. If we have not yet received your child’s chromebook back from the spring, we will not issue another until it is received. **Additional time for assignments will be required for in-person students following the release of the school day to meet educational expectations** If you have any questions regarding this schedule, please do not hesitate to contact your building administrator.

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
