A message from CCSD Superintendent Dr. Jesus F. Jara
The safety and wellbeing of students and staff is top priority. Comprehensive Health and Safety procedures are outlined in CCSD’s Hybrid Instructional Model Implementation Guide available online in English and Spanish at reconnect.ccsd.net.
Governor Sisolak’s easing of restrictions last week has provided an expedited route to open our schools and that is what we intend to do. The team immediately started to work on what the change in restrictions means for our students, including a date for each grade level to return to school.
CCSD Opening Timeline
March 1 - All Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 3 students can return to face-to-face instruction under the hybrid instructional model (CURRENT)
March 22 - Grades 6, 9, & 12 can return to face-to-face instruction under the hybrid instructional model
April 6 - Grades 7, 8, 10 & 11 can return to face-to-face instruction under the hybrid instructional model
April 6 - Pre-Kindergarten through grade 5 can return to five days a week face-to-face instruction
We will continue to offer a full-time distance education option to our families who feel more comfortable keeping their children at home.

--These intramural/intrasquad sports will have a 20 day practice/competition window
--No spectators will be allowed at any CCSD athletics events
--School athletics will follow all guidelines from CCSD, the state, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association (NIAA)
Performing Arts
Students will be able to engage in live learning and traditional rehearsals
Safety protocols will be implemented to ensure the safest possible return to face-to-face instruction
Similar to athletics, students will be permitted to engage in outside of class activities and rehearsals like, marching band, drill team, theater
To ensure continued safety of our community, performing arts classes will have the option of engaging in streamed concerts for the immediate future
Reopening schools, bringing back staff and students, and continuing a distance education model requires a lot of logistics and consideration. I ask for your patience as I continue to work with the Board of School Trustees to bring back all students and staff to face-to-face instruction safely.
As additional information becomes available, details will be shared with parents via ParentLink, and with all CCSD staff by email. Updated information will also be available online at reconnect.ccsd.net.
