With the end of the school year drawing nigh, the Carson City School District (CCSD) is pleased to announce it meets or exceeds the minimum number of minutes taught per day, and in turn, students will not be required to make up the one day lost due to a weather-related school cancellation. The last day of school for CCSD students will remain Wednesday, June 5, 2019.

Carson High School graduation will also remain as scheduled Saturday, June 8, 2019, at 9 a.m. on the football field. Pioneer High School graduation will also remain as scheduled Tuesday, June 4, at 6 p.m. in the Bob Boldrick Theater at the community center. Eagle Valley Middle School’s 8th Grade Promotion will be Tuesday, June 4, at 1 p.m. in the gym, and Carson Middle Schools 8th Grade Promotion will be Wednesday, June 5, at 1 p.m. in the gym.

The Nevada Department of Education formally approved the missed day (Tuesday, Feb. 5) and, based upon the annual instructional time, counted it as a day in session for the calendar school year 2018-2019.

“The past several winters have created a number of significant weather conditions that challenged our ability to safely hold school,” said Richard Stokes, superintendent for Carson City School District. “Each year, Ms. Susan Keema, our associate superintendent for educational services, builds extra days into the school calendar as contingency days in case they are needed. The end of the school year activities are expected to occur as presently planned.”

He continued “We’ve done our best to maintain all state educational requirements while also following the expected protocol. Of course all of this is contingent upon having no additional lost school days.”

Even though students will not be required to make up the lost days of instruction, teachers and staff will return to school June 6 to fulfill their contracts and receive professional development.
