Good evening, Washoe County School District Families,

We know many people have been impacted by the Hawk Fire and are in need of support and resources from the school district and from community agencies.

We have posted links to a number of resources on the District website here:

We will continue to update this list as needed in order to support the well-being of our students, families, and staff members.

Have a great weekend, and thank you for engaging in a flexible short school week!

Hello Families,

This is an important message from the Washoe County School District:

The Hawk Fire continues to significantly impact our community and has directly affected many of you – our students, families, and staff members – with evacuations, road closures, and extended power outages.

In consultation with public safety officials, most schools in the Washoe County School District will reopen for normal operations on Wednesday, August 26 except for the following 13 schools in areas directly impacted by the fire:

North Valleys High School
McQueen High School
Cold Springs Middle School
O’Brien Middle School
Billinghurst Middle School
Silver Lake Elementary School
Stead Elementary School
Alice Smith Elementary School
Lemmon Valley Elementary School
Inskeep Elementary School
Gomes Elementary School
Desert Heights Elementary School
Melton Elementary School

These schools will not resume classes on Wednesday, due to ongoing challenges related to prolonged power outages, evacuation zones, staffing, and transportation.

At this time, all other schools are scheduled to be in session on Wednesday, August 26.

Bus transportation will not operate in the areas designated as “red” or “yellow,” meaning those areas that have been evacuated or are standing by for possible evacuation. For information on your zone’s current classification, visit www.emergencywashoe.com

We will continue to work with public safety officials and monitor this emergency impacting our community.

Once again, all schools will be open for normal operations on Wednesday except Silver Lake, Stead, Alice Smith, Lemmon Valley, Inskeep, Gomes, Desert Heights, and Melton elementary schools; O’Brien, Cold Springs, and Billinghurst middle schools; and North Valleys and McQueen high schools.

Thank you.

This is an important message from Washoe County School District:

As a result of the Hawk Fire and in collaboration with public safety officials, all classes, events, and activities at all WCSD schools – except Incline and Gerlach K-12 Schools – will be canceled on Tuesday, August 25.

In the interest of safety for students, staff, and families, the District exercises great care and consideration before making the decision to cancel classes. Thousands of students and staff have been evacuated, and many neighborhoods and District facilities are still experiencing prolonged power outages.

WCSD's public safety personnel continue to assist our regional law enforcement partners, and transportation resources have been repositioned to minimize further negative impacts on our schools and the community.

Governor Lombardo declared a state of emergency in Washoe County due to the impacts of the fast-moving fire.

WCSD will continue to monitor and evaluate all options for when it is safe to reopen schools and will keep you informed.

Once again, all classes, events, and activities at all WCSD schools—except Incline and Gerlach K-12 Schools—are canceled for Tuesday, August 25.

WCSD is grateful to all those who continue to help our community, and we thank our District personnel who are assisting with this effort.
