Schools across the District are celebrating this year’s theme, “Catching the Reading Wave!” by not only encouraging and instilling the joy and importance of reading, but also inviting reading “guests” in their classrooms throughout the week!
Some of our very own District administrators, staff, and Board of Trustee members have enjoyed spending time in the classroom reading aloud to such attentive listeners! We are looking forward to the remaining days of a reading week, and hope families continue the reading at home this week!

Elko County School District Community:

I am happy to share that in response to recent changes to requirements for face coverings on public transportation, masks will no longer be required while riding in or operating school buses or vans in the Elko County School District beginning tomorrow, Monday, February 28. Please note: Face coverings remain to be required for students and staff in transit to and from a school in outbreak status.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control—or CDC—has issued new guidance regarding COVID: They have lifted the requirement for students and staff members to wear masks while riding on school buses or vans operated by public school districts.

Once again, beginning Monday, February 28, students and staff members will not be required to wear masks while riding in or operating school buses in the Elko County School District, if the destination school is NOT in outbreak status.
Thank you.
Interim Superintendent
Clayton Anderson

RE: Nevada’s State-wide Mask Mandate Removed, Directive 052 Released
Dear ECSD community:
On the morning of Thursday, February 10, 2022 Governor Steve Sisolak rescinded Nevada’s mask mandate in public places. Following this decision, masks are now optional for all staff, students and visitors of Elko County School District schools and buildings effective tomorrow Friday, February 11, 2022 only if the school in which students attend and staff employ is not deemed to be experiencing an outbreak by the Department of Health and Human Services. Mask requirements remain in effect for school buses.
According to a press release from his office, teachers and schools will no longer be required to wear masks, but school districts will need to work with their local health authorities to have plans in place to manage and respond to outbreaks.
Please be advised Elko County School District’s assigned health authority is the Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), who has deemed five schools in our District to be currently experiencing outbreaks. Directive 052 states:
Regardless of a county school district, charter school or private school’s policy, if an outbreak of COVID-19 is identified by a local health authority, masks and other mitigation measures may be required for all students and staff and must be immediately implemented at the direction of the local health authority. The mask requirement and any other mitigation measures will be in effect until the local health authority determines the outbreak is closed.
Our administrative office at ECSD expects to receive updated direction very soon from DHHS that we hope reflects our state’s mask guidelines as they now apply in all public places. Students continue to have the option to wear face coverings inside District buildings if they elect to do so, and will be fully supported in their decision by District staff.
In addition to today’s announcement from the Governor, I would also like to share the mandatory testing of NIAA athletes and those leaving the county will end as of February 27, 2022.
We will continue to communicate the guidance as it applies to ECSD as the situation develops. Thank you so much for your support of our schools, students and staff as we continue to adapt to these ongoing changes. Interim Superintendent
Clayton Anderson
