Hello families. The first day of food distribution for children 18 and younger was a huge success!
Nye County School District (NCSD) wants to thank all the volunteers and employees for making this happen. Distribution of breakfast and lunch meals Monday through Friday is as follows:
Food distribution will take place at the existing elementary bus stops beginning at 10:00 a.m.
Food distribution will take place at the existing middle and high school bus stops beginning at 11:00 a.m.
Food can also be picked up in front of the following schools: Hafen Elementary School, Floyd Elementary School, Rosemary Clarke Middle School, and Pahrump Valley High School from 10:00 a.m. until 11:30 a.m.
Please remember children can pick up meals from ANY bus at ANY stop, or at one of the four food distribution sites. All children must be present to pick up breakfast and lunch. Please check the NCSD website at www.nye.k12.nv.us for more information.
Our drivers are the best!

Did you know you can send a text message to an email address? And, the recipient's response will come back to the text message.
I thought this might be helpful for folks who don't use email but need to reach out to email people.

Hey, we've been trying to collect many of the hundreds of online instruction at a distance resources here: https://wke.lt/w/s/tEE0Iu
I hope this is helpful. I'm sorry that we haven't had time to organize it. There is a link on the NCSD COVID-19 Response page as well.
Duckwater is one of our ultra-small schools in a remote-rural area. With school closed, learning is still happening in home with support from the instructional team.
Thank you, Mrs. Thompson.

Make reading a social activity
Students who often read for pleasure have large vocabularies and strong thinking skills. To encourage reading for the fun of it, throw a family reading party. Make some snacks and gather together to read for 30 minutes. Everyone can read what they like. Or watch a movie based on a book, then have everyone read the book and gather again to talk about the differences between them.

Convierta la lectura en una actividad social
Los estudiantes que leen por placer con frecuencia suelen tener un vocabulario amplio y habilidades de razonamiento sólidas. Para animar a su joven a leer por placer, organice una fiesta de lectura familiar. Prepare algunos bocadillos y reúna a la familia para leer durante 30 minutos. Cada uno puede leer lo que quiera. O podrían ver juntos una película basada en un libro. Luego, lean el libro y vuelvan a reunirse para hablar de las diferencias entre las dos versiones.
