The Nevada Department of Education is inviting families of students receiving special education services to participate in a family focus group. While this survey and focus group initiative is organized at the state level through Sigma Associates rather than directly by Nye County School District, the insights shared by our families will directly help shape special education support, resources, and communication across all Nevada school districts.
The focus groups offer a welcoming space to share what helps you feel informed, respected, and involved, as well as to review Nevada's family survey to ensure it reflects what truly matters to our families. Participation is entirely voluntary and confidential—all feedback is summarized without identifying you, your child, or your school.
Please consider taking a few moments to sign up and help guide the future of special education across our communities:

If you have questions about the focus group, you can contact Sigma Associates Incorporated at info@sigmaevaluation.com or the Nevada Department of Education at specialeducation@doe.nv.gov.
Thank you for your continued partnership and dedication to our students!

Important Safety Message Regarding Rosemary Clarke Middle School
Dear Families and Community,
We are writing to address rumors currently circulating on social media regarding a potential safety threat at Rosemary Clarke Middle School scheduled for tomorrow.
Please be assured that the safety and security of our students and staff are our highest priorities. As soon as we were made aware of these social media posts, school administration immediately partnered with the Nye County Sheriff's Office to conduct a thorough investigation. Deputies thoroughly evaluated the online posts, conducted student interviews, and completed home visits.
Following this comprehensive investigation, law enforcement confirmed that there is no evidence supporting any threat to our campus. The rumors are unfounded, and school will proceed on its normal schedule tomorrow with full confidence in our campus safety. In an abundance of caution, the sheriff's department will increase the police presence at the school and in the area.
We want to thank the individuals who alerted us to these posts. This situation serves as a valuable reminder of the importance of our "See Something, Say Something" practice. We also encourage our school community to report concerns directly to administration or law enforcement rather than sharing unverified rumors on social media, which can cause unnecessary fear.
Thank you for your continued trust and partnership in keeping our students safe.
Sincerely,
April Sutton
Principal, Rosemary Clarke Middle School

RE: School & District Investigation Process Clarification
The Nye County School District (NCSD) emphasizes the following facts and guidelines regarding investigations:
The district investigates every report and accusation made regarding student or staff concerns.
While we understand the community's desire for full transparency in every situation, federal and state privacy mandates strictly protect student records and employee personnel files; as a result, specific investigative findings, student and/or personnel outcomes, disciplinary actions, and evidentiary details cannot be disclosed to complainants, parents, or the public.
During an investigation, out of an abundance of caution, we may remove students from the classroom and place employees on administrative leave; however, we work under the same fundamental principle as our legal system: Every individual is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The safety, security, and well-being of our students across all Nye County communities remain our highest priorities. We strongly encourage parents, staff, and community members to refrain from engaging in or spreading unverified rumors, particularly across social media channels. The dissemination of speculation can hamper official investigations and cause unnecessary distress.

Support for Families in Need
The NCSO has completed it's investigation of the area, and we have been cleared to lift the lockdown at all locations.
Dear Parents and Guardians,
The safety and security of our students and staff are our highest priorities. I am writing to inform you that J.G. Johnson Elementary, Pahrump Valley High School (PVHS), Mt. Charleston Elementary, and Pathways Innovative Education have all been placed on a precautionary LOCKDOWN protocol at the request of the Nye County Sheriff’s Office (NCSO).
The Sheriff’s Office requested this protocol while addressing an incident report. Please be assured that this situation is ongoing, but all students and staff are safe and secure inside their respective school buildings.
During a Lockdown procedure, regular classroom activities pause, all exterior and interior doors are locked, and hallway traffic is restricted so emergency response personnel can effectively manage the surrounding neighborhood. No entry or exit from any of the affected campuses is permitted at this time. Please do not attempt to travel to any of the school sites, as access is strictly restricted for everyone's safety.
We are in constant communication with law enforcement and will send an update as soon as the Sheriff's Office clears the area and lifts the protocol. Thank you for your patience, trust, and cooperation as we keep our schools safe.
Sincerely,
School Administration & District Leadership

If you purchased raffle tickets for the Gabbs quilt fundraiser, the winner is Leila Horn, who is a long time resident of Gabbs. Her family puchased several tickets for her because of her long history with the community and school.
Leila rasied four children in Gabbs, and all are graduates of Gabbs High school. In 1978 her family also hosted an exchange student from Mexico who also graduated. She worked at the first cafeteria in the school and then at the local magnesium mine, which is among the oldest operating mines in the world.
She finished her work years as a Nye County Municipal Judge and retired.
She always says, "Learn something everyday and it will be a good day!!!"
With her community history, she'll cherish her new quilt from the students of Gabbs.
