French Ford Middle School -
The week of May 26-28th we are going to be handing back student materials as well as collecting all school owned materials that students have borrowed during the school closure. These items include, but are not limited to Chromebooks, library books, class books, Inc Books, band instruments, books from the FFMS library checked out before the closure, etc... The times for this great exchange will be: Tuesday, May 26th through Thursday, May 28th - 9am - 7pm We ask that you pull in on Great Basin and drive to where there is a table set up with staff to greet you and give you instructions. When you leave we ask that you continue down Great Basin and either remain on Great Basin leaving the school or turning on Palisade. We ask that you do not do a U-turn. A few things to keep in mind as you are coming to the school. 1. Please make sure that if you have a Chromebook it is charged and turned on so that staff can quickly check it. 2. Please make sure that you remain in your vehicle at all times and allow school staff to assist you. 3. Please make sure that you know the student's homeroom teacher. If you have any questions, please call our office at 623-8200 between 10:00 am-1:00 pm.

Sleep is one of the functions that can affect our overall health. From the time we are born, we need a regular amount of sleep to help us in functioning well and effectively in our daily lives. Adults need consistent sleep, teens and children need it, and babies have it down to a science. In this short article, Mrs. Wirthlin will share some ways that you can make sure your children are getting enough quality sleep during this pandemic and beyond.
If you haven't filled out your #2020Census, do it now! 😃
If you have, remind your friends and neighbors to do the same! Half of NV still hasn't completed it, and our state deserves our fair share of federal funding. @NVCensus2020 census.nv.gov

LHS Class of 2020: Check Out and Graduation Plan
While we have so many unknowns regarding our state's economy and budget, there is one thing you can do to help us get federal funding. It takes 5 minutes to get $20,000 per person over the next 10 years. Have a family of 5? That's $100,000 to our state!
Half of Nevada has completed the census. Half! Let's get everyone to do it and get federal money we need for our economy.

Governor Sisolak Announces School Closure and Continuation of Distance Learning - This evening, Governor Sisolak announced during his press conference that schools will remain closed and operate under Distance Learning for the remainder of the current school year.
Given this new directive, district and school site administration will begin outlining next steps regarding the continuation of Distance Learning, the provision of meals, impacts on graduation ceremonies and planning associated with such, and transitioning into summer cleaning and construction projects.
I would like to express my personal appreciation for each of out staff members as the work to support distance learning.
Please be reminded that though school sites will remain closed the rest of the scheduled school year, we will continue to be open
and fully engaged in instruction, teaching and learning.
Fortunately, our Distance Learning will meet required "instructional days" and we will not be required to make up the days under school closure.
As a district, we are exploring options for summer instruction, within the parameters allowed under the pandemic to provide extended learning opportunities for those that would like such opportunities.
Thank you to each of you in our community for your support and understanding during this difficult time. Stay safe!
Sincerely,
Dr. David Jensen
Superintendent
