Problems: Because Las Vegas is in a valley, if heavy rainfall occurs, flooding may be the result. The mountains surrounding the valley can also act as a trap for smog and other pollutants.

TRANSPORTATION Las Vegas is a hub for airlines, railroads, trucking and highways. Major and regional airlines find Las Vegas to be one of their most popular destinations. Las Vegas was founded as a railroad city. Because of its central location, it is still a principal on-route destination for the railroads.

Las Vegas' convention and entertainment industries, together with unparalleled outdoor recreation, have stimulated phenomenal growth in Southern Nevada. Today, nearly half of all Las Vegas visitors arrive by air via McCarran International Airport, making it a major driving force in the Southern Nevada economy and one of the top ten busiest airports in the world. Income derived from aviation activity generates significant economic benefits estimated at 25 billion dollars a year. In addition to these tangible benefits, McCarran is a valuable community asset that links Southern Nevada to the national air transportation system and brings the world to Las Vegas.

Private aviation is serviced at McCarran, the North Las Vegas Air Terminal and Sky Harbor Airport in Henderson. Limousine and taxi service is available 24 hours.

MISSION STATEMENT:

Clark County School District (CCSD) is the fifth largest in the United States with 309,893 students for the 2010-2011 enrollment. CCSD opened five new schools in August 2010.

These were the final schools to be constructed with the revenue generated by the 1998 bond issue. The focus will be to create greater equity between older and newer schools through ongoing modernization efforts.

The district operates 357 schools as of the 2010-2011 school year which consists of 217 elementary schools; 59 middle schools; 49 high schools; 24 alternative schools; and 8 special schools. The district employs 37,341 people, including about 18,010 teachers as well as part-time, substitute and temporary employees.

CCSD offers a range of programs for the special needs of their students. In addition to core curriculum, CCSD offers magnet schools and programs, various accelerated and Advance SKILLSPlacement programs and special education services.

Clark County School District students will have the knowledge, skills, attitudes and ethics necessary to succeed academically and will practice responsible citizenship.

Clark County School District Accountability Reports

SKILLS

Accountability Reports furnished each spring to parents include statistics about a school’s performance as well as achievements, highlights, awards, goals and technology use. Accountability Reports are available online from the Clark County School District’s web site at www.ccsd.net on the “Schools” link then on School Accountability Reports.

Age Requirements Nevada law requires school attendance between ages 7 and 18.

Kindergarten is part of the regular school program. A child must be five years old on or before September 30 to attend kindergarten and must be six years old on or before September 30 to enter first grade. State law requires that a child must attend a state-approved kindergarten program or take a developmental assessment test to enter first grade.

Bus Services Students who live more than 2 miles from zoned schools are eligible for bus transportation. Those who are eligible must fill out an application form requesting the service. The forms are available throughout the Clark County School District. Bus times and route schedules can be obtained through your child’s school or at www.ccsd.net/transportation.

Students with zone variances will NOT be bused. Parents will be responsible for the child’s transportation to and from school.

Meals at School All schools give students the opportunity to purchase breakfast and hot lunches.

Elementary schools average $1.00 for breakfast and $1.50 for lunches.

Middle/High Schools average $1.25 for breakfast and $2.00, $2.50 or $3.00 for lunches.

For students in kindergarten through the 8th grade, applications for free or reduced-price meals can be found at the school’s office or cafeteria.

Enrollment In order to enroll students: • Must have proof of immunizations before classes begin • Parents entering their children in a District School for the first time must have identification, child’s social security number, and two forms of proof of address. Proof of child’s identity can be the original birth certificate or passport. Identification must be an original – no copies are accepted. The required proof of address can be a recent utility bill, rent receipt, residence lease or sales contract. Telephone bills, cable bills, and driver’s license are not accepted as proof of address.

• All students who are transferring from another school district require transcripts or report cards from the previous school.

Immunizations Nevada law requires that children in kindergarten through grade 12 are current with their immunizations before they are allowed to enter school. Parents/guardians are to bring immunization records with them to school when they register their child.

A child will not be allowed to attend school without documentation of immunizations. Exceptions are permitted for “religious objections,” which requires a letter from the parent or guardian stating the religious objection, or for a medical condition, which requires a letter from a health care provider.

For the new school year, students must be up to date with all required immunizations. Students entering 7th grade also must have the recently-mandated Tdap vaccine which protects against tetanus, diphtheria and pertussis, or whooping cough.

Students new to Nevada are required to have immunizations for hepatitis A and B, and varicella (chicken pox). If a child has had chicken pox, the parent or guardian must sign a “Verification of Disease” form, which is available at each school. A second dose of MMR is required for all kindergarten and first-grade students.

Contact the Clark County Health District at 383-1351 for more information.
