NWEA
Starting December 1st, students K-11 will be taking their Winter NWEA Maps tests. Students will be tested in Reading, Math, and Science. Beatty Schools values these tests because they allow us to track student progress and identify areas of strength and growth. Please make sure your student(s) attend school and get plenty of rest during that time.
Parent-Teacher Conferences
What a turnout! Thank you to all our Hornet Families who attended Parent­Teacher Conferences! Your involvement is a vital part of your child's education and success. We truly value this strong partnership.
Family Engagement “I don’t have homework” and “I’ve turned everything in” probably sound familiar. To stay up to date on your child’s grades, every parent can use the Infinite Campus Parent Portal. Every parent gets an account when they enroll their child. If you are not sure what your username and/or password are, reach out to your school secretary. Teachers will do their best to keep your child’s grades up to date as frequently as possible so you can be involved with your child’s academic success.
Staff Spotlight Our BEMS Employee of the Month for October is Mrs. Thormahlen. Mrs. Thormahlen was voted by staff because she goes above and beyond for her students and other staff. She has great ideas and wants the best for her students. She sings songs and manages life with a genuine smile on her face. Mrs. Boyajian is our BHS Employee of the Month for October. She was voted by staff because even though she has a lot on her plate she steps up like a professional. She goes above and beyond to help her students. She always treats her students with amazing patience and grace.

Parents & Guardians,

You can "text" the reason for your child's absence through EduRooms. Every school will accept excuses this way, even those few continuing with Dojo for one last year, so sign up now: https://snap.nyeschools.org/ncsdEduRoomsSignUp

Once signed up, you are connected automatically to all spaces published by your child's teachers forever.

If you suspect your child may have a disability that may require special education services, please complete this form, which will provide NCSD's Special Education Support Services
(SESS) Office with the required information for an Early Childhood Special Education referral. SESS will review the referral and reach out to you in regards to the concerns you have for your child.
------
NCSD tiene la responsabilidad de localizar, evaluar e identificar a los niños entre las edades de 3 a 4 años que no estén inscritos en ningún programa escolar y que presentan algún tipo de desarrollo retrasado.

Elementary Parent/Teacher Conferences are scheduled for this Monday, March 24th. Students in grades PreK-5th grades are not in school on Monday, but this is a normal school day for secondary students, grades 6th-12th. Please direct questions to the appropriate school.

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. https://5il.co/36a7m

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
